My t has always said that I don't have to stop too. But Saturday she said for the first time in response to something I said about her updated psychologytoday.com profile, I told her that the last part she added about her clients leave with tools they were never taught before stuff like that, I said that gives me hope that there IS an end to this, and she said yes, there is an end. She's never said that before. And I surprised myself by not getting all emotional on her. I think that's progress for me!! I think atat is right, that it will get easier. And I think it's important that you continue to talk about it with your t. I know I'm always needing to talk about the relationship with mine.

I'm sorry you're feeling heartbreak. it will get easier.
