Mine is a bit different. My insurance year begins April 1 and I started therapy this fall and have been going weekly to my T for 2 months. I love her and am still getting to know her.... and I know my 30 visits will run out before April 1st and I don't know what to do. Do I go less often now? (I don't want to) or do I try to find some way to pay on my own later? I don't know if I can do that.

As for the new year... eh, it is just another day/month to me, but I am continuing my commitment to therapy as I am committed this time like I have never been before. That makes is harder and makes me think if quitting, but I know that when I feel that way it is the time to stay with it and tell her and maybe slow down a bit, which she did for me recently. This therapy, with a psychologist this time, and not CBT but psychodynamic therapy, is my way through I am sure. I feel like I matter to my therapist, that I am a person to her, not just her 3:00 appointment as I've felt with others. Whatever the reason for that is (her, my readiness, or just the luck of a good fit between us), I am thankful for it and want to make the most of it.

I guess I kind of have a new year's resolution or change though that affects this. I had been exercising a lot and I've lost 100 lbs in the last year (was very sick too and had major abdominal surgery to remove part of my pancreas) and I've not been exercising enough lately. So, for health, weight (still need to lose another 50), and emotional well-being, I am committed to exercising daily whether walking at lunch, joining a women's workout center, or buying a treadmill.

Sorry so long!! And I haven't even had my coffee yet! lol

Happy New Year's to all and remeber, resolutions arent' necessary....keeping up the good work is just as important!
