At the end of December I cancelled my next two sessions with T3. To my amazement, she called about a week later (I spoke to the receptionist to cancel). It took a couple of tries, but we connected by phone and she basically said that she would return to the type of therapy that I had been asking for for 6 months.

I didn't cancel to make a point (well, there were some parts that wanted to do that) but I was curious to see how I would feel without seeing her. I didn't want to make the decision to quit if it would make me more miserable than I already was. But we had been going around in circles.

I thought of it as taking a break to see how things went. I actually slept better with her off my calendar. I was leaning toward quitting altogether until she called and caved. I see her again Tuesday, so we'll see how that goes.

I think it is fine to cancel to see how you feel when you do that. How else will you know?
