I have a good life. I see it. So why can't I be content with it?

Because you want something more. I don't know what that is, and you may not either.
I know how inhibiting anxiety can be when it comes to reaching outside of your regular life. But I think it's worth it. What therapy would become now would be encouraging you to take those steps to an outer life. Therapy isn't always about talking, it's also about talking so that you feel comfortable doing.
I'm wondering if you might be telling yourself you're done with therapy because you'll be leaving your therapist a few months? To soften the blow maybe?
