I would use the rest of my therapy sessions to create a self-therapy model so I could continue to work on an issue or two on my own. I would, with my therapist's help, start a notebook and listing incidences/issues as they arise and begin to organize or cluster them so I could better see what I am working with. A big part of therapy is recognizing and understanding the actual underlying problems and being able to articulate them to one's self.
I would work on my self esteem issues so that I could better do that without judging myself negatively or in a harmful way in the process. I would also look for reading matter about the subjects I am interested in and a plan to come back and see my therapist in three months, saving up to pay for the session as part of the plan, and discuss my successes, difficulties and questions about where to go next.
I would treat it as a sabbatical or self-study semester or part of my regular health plan (why I say 3 months, I see my primary care physician every 3 months for my physical health and use that quarterly schedule to work on my personal projects such as my diet and weight loss, exercise, blood pressure studies, etc.).
