We did this in my first course of therapy ("let's plan to stop weekly sessions in 15 weeks unless something
comes up.") and I wasn't able to engage at all. I just kept counting down the weeks, getting progressively more anxious that I wouldn't be "ready" by the deadline, and finally shutting down entirely because, well, what was the point in getting into something if I wasn't sure I'd be done with it by X date?
But that's just me.

Yes, I know what you mean about the artificially imposed timeline. I sort of feel that way a bit already but I think I can get over it.
I think it might actually work for me in a reverse psychology sort of way though, it might make me commit and not fall into my usual way of feeling like I despise everything from the T to the actual building and wishing to never see them again. Because Ill be aware its about to be over soon.
Im sort of the same way with men, I only want them if I think they wont stick around, but if they show any real interest it repulses me. I think its the same way of thinking for me..
Although I do think Id have conquered all this with this T, She is my kind of person and she doesnt creep me out at all, she even changes the room around so it looks different to me so I dont get creeped out. Darn it really is such a pity...
