You know... when you've been in therapy a long time (not that 3 years is THAT long) and are attached and have worked through alot of things... it's normal to feel anxious and stressed about how things will be done when you're done. Some people find it helpful to not stop "cold turkey" - which is abrupt and can leave you feeling unsupported if something else comes up - but instead to taper off. So if you're going weekly, but feeling better, start going every other week. Then once a month. And if things keep getting better, maybe just once every other month or something.

Basically, you can slowly ease yourself off therapy while maintaining a connection and sense of support. This makes it easier if something huge happens and you need support as well, since T is already there and you have a good relationship with them, to ramp back up sessions as needed.

Does that sound less scary/depressing?
Thanks for this!
