Oh this is getting interesting, isn't it? I can accept different opinions, I think. I don't like it when my T is criticized because I think she's amazing, but I can understand that people can have different opinions. I still think that for ME, it's a good idea to stop emailing each week. My T knows my history, and I trust her. She brought it up as "what would it be like for you if you journaled instead of emailing me?" It's a challenge to see if I can do it, and how I feel doing it. I will continue to question her about it, but so far, there are benefits. I'm not hurting terribly, just feeling more, and a lot may be about my Mom, not my T, anyway. I'm able to tolerate it, and after 6 years, that may be a good thing. Many people do not even stick with a T for 6 years; they quit or are terminated. That's not happening with me right now. I feel I'm getting stronger in general, and my T agrees!
