She knows I have social issues and I think I am just done with her.

However for some reason I feel bad and am not sure how to end this. I have already cut my sessions to only twice a month and I am not sure how to end this. I could call and cancel my appointment but for some reason I feel and and don't want to hurt her feelings. I try to avoid conflict and don't want her to question me or ask me why I don't want to see her because I don't want to hurt her feelings or something because she has helped me a little. How can I end this?
Any way you like. If you dont like confrontation, just shoot her an email or a text that says something direct or something passive but both mean goodbye:

1) I'll contact you if I want to schedule another session
2) Thank you for all your help, but I think it's time to take a break from therapy for awhile (maybe financial reasons?)

I sent my T an email like the first one basically saying I couldn't afford more sessions right now, but I'd let her know when I got more money and until then I needed to cancel any standing appointments.
