Thanks for all your replies. I think if I wasn't at this point with T, I wouldn't want to consider paying for an extra session to sit and say nothing (that used to be how the sessions were), but as there feels like some movement in my "disclosures" maybe it might help keep the momentum going, as long as I focus using the sessions for that purpose and not just shut down again.

Yes I still worry a bit about the dependency, but reassure myself that actually I have come a long way in managing my feelings, so even if I feel more dependent, I can deal with that (maybe )

I'll try and discuss with my T at the next session and see what their view is too.

Thanks again - Soup
