That is one reason I would NOT want my husband or anyone else in therapy with me. It's my space. It's fine if others want family or whoever with them in therapy. If that is what helps or what they need it's good. But for me I just need somewhere for me. And she seems safe. I just am not sure about long term goals or what the ending will be like. It's a little scary thinking about it, but I've already been through a bad ending and a good ending so I could do it.)

I also use my T as a safe space for myself, just to talk about whatever is on my mind, vent, feel supported, etc.I will continue to go as long as I find it helpful. I will be moving within the next year or two and, originally, I planned on ending at that time. Recently, my T offered the option of phone sessions after I move. I'm not sure yet if I'll do that-- it's still a ways away-- but I might. I feel no pressure to end. If I like therapy and it's affordable, I see no reason to have ending as a goal. My life is going well and therapy provides a safe, supportive space.
