I know it's hard. But it's time for the child parts to grow up. You had 7 years! Most don't get that. You're going through growing pains. Like my T tells me: it's okay to cry. It's okay to miss whatever it is you're missing. Therapy is about growth and progress. If you stay stuck, your T isn't doing her job.

I'm going through a little bit of growing pains myself. Seeing my T only once every 4 weeks is so hard. I've been crying, missing her, having panic attacks. But she's still there. She's doing her job.
