What originally brought you to therapy, Rainbow?
What are your goals in therapy (besides work on this attachment issue with the T)? You want to improve your relationship with your husband? Friends?
I stopped therapy almost a year ago because I wasn't going anywhere. I was spinning and spinning in circles,never advancing.
If you stopped therapy, there would be a period of grief for your T, yes, but what do you see beyond that? For years, it seems that a large majority of your life revolves around therapy and your therapist. To some extent life DOES revolve around therapy, because you are focusing on yourself, but it seems to me that so much energy goes towards thinking what your therapist thinks, or what you are feeling towards her.
I have no coherent point, and I agree that you have made a lot of progress with this therapist. I just wonder what you see PAST the therapy? When you thought you had to quit, what were the up and front issues you wanted to work on, or was it more of the same (attachment pattern with T)?
