Oh yes, we are working through my anxiety around therapy in therapy, sigh, it's something we've discussed. My therapist is certainly open to cutbacks and accommodating schedule changes and emails and such for me. She is willing to see me at a reduced rate or for free if I needed to, but I will not do that because I do not have a need for the therapy. I make progress, I find the work very compelling, but no, I don't need it and will not ask for a reduced rate, though she offered.

Nice that your therapist offers free emails!

P.S. I was just reminded of one thing I have done...maybe it will help to make it a practice: I've been inspired by my therapist to make a quilt representing the caring women in my life, and I also have a meditation/guided visualization audiofile I purchased- maybe if I focus on those when I most want to talk to her, it will help me ease the desire enough to just wait it out. It's so hard to have a confidant though, after not having one for 20 years, honestly. Sheesh.
