I'm definitely going to be talking to T about this this week. I also can talk to her this week about my hw and my appt with my Pdoc.

When I saw my Pdoc this week, I told her that I don't have much to talk to T about anymore and am thinking of reducing or stopping. She got all excited... She says I'm making progress because I can actually see my T as just a professional and not my core support. She told me it's okay if I reduce or stop because therapy isn't meant to be life long. I told her I was thinking about reducing with her too. She was happy about that as well, but still made my next appt for 4 weeks like normal. My Pdocs only concern is if I have enough support in my life w/o my T. I'm not sure. I do have my fiance, my mom, and my step-dad for support. But when I'm in a crisis, I need T's support. The other's aren't enough.

I do know that I'm not running away from anything. In fact, I wish I did have things to talk about. I finally have a connection with my T, a healthy attachment. It took a lot of work and I'd hate to walk away from that.

As for talking about mundane things... I don't even have much about that. I don't work or go to school. I've looked into volunteering, found something I might be able to do, but am way to scared to try it.

It just doesn't make sense why this is happening. I have always had plenty to talk about with ex-T. So much. And even then I wasn't in school or working.
