I'm getting tired of the anxiety and tired of worrying about therapy and missing her between sessions but I think she's an excellent therapist and am so impressed by and grateful for her too.

Hi Leah, sorry that I can't be of help as much as you always are to me, I just wanted to tell you that I relate a lot. I started therapy to solve an ED and I was very cynical at first, almost treating my T badly, then I started to disclose and I've become the needy, worried girl that you see when you read my posts.
Now that I have to cut my sessions like you my biggest source of pain is that I won't be able to see my T regularly, as crazy as it may sound.
The less support part is
very hard. Have we become dependent and vulnerable? Maybe - but I'm also sure it's because we are finally fulfilling some needs that have been ignored for a long time and maybe weren't even the reason why one started therapy. I think therapy is destructive too, in my worst moments. And it damaged my relationship with my family because they don't understand why I'm there.
I guess these moments of vulnerability are necessary, somehow healing and to be enjoyed as they provide our soul with the nourishment we need.
Thank you for sharing and really, well done for all your achievements, that's just impressing.
