My therapist reminds me that as I attached to her more and more, and filled up the emptiness inside me. I would not need her as much. She was right. I had free reign of appts. and before I left on vacation I was down to once a week. She told me to use what ever I needed to get through my month plus with parents. I did. I'm working on terminating therapy, and my confidence of flying solo does not seem so daunting at all. In fact, I'm looking forward to it.

Try not to deny yourself what you need or what you want as long as you are not hurting yourself or others. It's like my pediatrician told me that my toddler would not be going to college nursing or in diapers. Tranquillo; relax. Like healthy children if we get our needs met in therapy we grow, and move on - even as adults.
