I really think I could have made some progress with her, but I needed insurance. Not sure how long you have been seeing this T, but it's like losing a friend I'm sure. And probably you can see her again if you need to.

Yes I guess there are pros and cons to short term versus long term therapy. I initially sought short term, but it sort of evolved as things unravelled. I'm not sure I would be where I am now, without long term therapy, but yes, as you say, it does feel like losing a friend (of 7 years). But the realisation of that has already changed the dynamic, I've taken a huge step back. I think if I need top ups in the future, I'll find a different T.
Do you feel it is helping you with the changes in your T's? I know I had develop trust in order to progress and that took a long time for me.
