AGFish, from your initial post, I get the conviction that you're not doing so OK and ready to cut sessions. Even though you might not be the worst suicidal you've been, there is still a lot of questions and concerns about meds, your spiritual life, and what to do next for your growth. I feel like you're a swimmer almost ready to swim, but I need to keep my hands near because I'm not sure you're so able to keep your head above water. I think this is a very important time for you to have a good therapist to keep you on the right track. It's definitely not the time to cut back and I don't see why your T is doing it other than T has his own life to deal with.
I would get an additional T if you're too attached to this one to just leave. Or if you're able to, quit present T and get a good Psychodynamic T.
You've come so far and I'm afraid stopping now will not keep you going well enough. A good therapist provides so much more steadiness and someone to bond with in your struggle.
I applaud your interest in a spiritual way, and I do believe that God is in our mental health issues. But I also see it like people do with any health problem...you go to a cardiologist if you have a heart problem even while you believe in God and have help there. I think God wants us to use all the medical knowledge as well as relationship with Him. In all, you have a lot on your plate and much you're mulling over that's important. I just think you need to see a good T at least every week, without any long breaks, to work all this out.
