I keep getting anxious that T is going to make me quit therapy before I am ready. He is not one of those 'supportive' type therapists and says he doesn't continue therapy with people who are not actively seeking to change. Once a client has achieved his or her goals, he expects and encourages that person to terminate. So. I know that I am working on changing and he is not kicking me out anytime soon, but I get anxious that he will decide I have made all the changes I can and want me to quit before I feel like I have really acquired the skills I need to maintain a change. Does that make sense? Like my parents not letting me keep the training wheels on my bike because they decided I was taking too long and could really do it without the wheels. All of my life, people have assumed that I am stronger and more capable than I am.
Stupid weird concern at this point because I absolutely know he isn't going to want to terminate when I am still struggling with bouts of suicidal depression.
