Hello all!

I have an issue. It has been bothering me for almost a year now. I have been in therapy for about 2 years now. For a long time, I was really struggling, and now I am doing a lot better. Recently, my therapist and I went from therapy once a week to once every 2 weeks. I know that this is a good thing. However, I am saddened by it cause deep down I know that means that therapy is going to be nearing an end at some point. And I know that in order for me to grow to my full potential that therapy will have to end so I can handle life on my own, and not have to rely on someone else to help guide me through it.

I have a fear of abandonment. I was put in foster care the day I was born and I was adopted at 2.5 years old. So, I have a fear of abandonment when therapy ends at some point in the future. Though, I know I would not be being abandoned. But It still feels that way to me, if that makes sense. I fear that when therapy does end that I will have a set back from it to where I will get really depressed again or go back to my old ways. I do not want that at all. So, I am trying to get over this fear now, so I can better handle things in a healthy way when it does eventually happen.

So, my question is. How do I overcome this fear once and for all? I feel like this fear is taking control of my life, and I do not want that.

Sorry if this post is all chip chopped.
