There's growing older issues, and I want T's support.

You don't HAVE to give her up now, and I don't think she's asking you to. Spacing out sessions is one thing, but quitting therapy is something separate. I think the general consensus is that it's OUR decision to end therapy, unless something unhealthy is going on. so if you don't want to space sessions, don't. Tell her you aren't ready, you will let her know when you are, and kindly ask her to drop the subject. She works FOR YOU. So if you want to continue seeing her once a week, stick up for yourself in that!
