She and I talk generally about how we are both confident that I will be ready to leave eventually. I'm not keen to put a timetable on it because I think it will take as long as it takes. I mean, I'm in therapy in part to stop putting so much pressure on myself. I think as long as I am moving forward in my life and seeing positive changes in my thoughts and mood, then therapy is helping and it's okay that I enjoy the time that I spend with my T. At some point I will space out my sessions more. And even if I stop scheduling regular sessions eventually, I know my T will welcome me back as long as she is practicing. So hopefully ending therapy will be a gradual, multi-step thing.
