i dunno sweetie. You have had some tough questions about this all along. How do you feel about having an open discussion directly with your T about this? If you have any faith at all about how ethical he/she is then you know that they job is to help you, not to build customers. i don't know how your relationship is.. but maybe this is a good point to just take a huge risk and lay all of this out there.

a remember, therapy isn't so finite... if you have things which could be worked on, which you do describe, but feel it's not the right time, then take a therapy break. It doesn't have to be do it or don't do it ever..unless you want that.

in the voicemail my T left for me for the holidays he answered some questions i asked. One was for him to tell me (again) that he wasn't going anywhere... but this time i wanted him to tell me why not. Without giving his whole answer, he said that if i ever said i needed a break or didn't want to work on anything anymore then he would respect that.

maybe your T would be honest about what he/she thinks you should do.
