My therapy started 21 years ago. It's been on and off and has spanned 8 Ts. My longest time with a T was a total of 3 years.

I think, for me, therapy will always be a part of my life. I won't need it weekly, but I'll need it on and off.

Therapy has changed for me. At first it was just talking, getting used to actual therapy. Then it was dealing with my past. Then it was working on specific issues. Now it's gone full circle and we're back to just talking about weekly issues.

I don't feel I'm ready to let go of therapy, but I will be trying it out in a few months. I'm scared. My T is my main mental health support. I don't know what I'm going to do for those two months in between seeing her. Luckily, I'll still have email. Still, it will be hard without her. But I guess it's time. I've processed my past, I've learned the skills, and now it's time to see if I can survive on my own. And having my T be there on the side-lines in case anything happens is a plus.
