Once I saw it, it felt like all the pieces fell into place. I've been thinking quitting therapy might be the fix. I don't want to be the person making him anxious and doubting our therapy together. I plan on going Monday so I have a few days to think about it.
I hope your session on Monday goes okay. I really don't think quitting therapy is the answer, especially as the anniversary is coming up.

But if he is anxious and doubting therapy with you, that is HIS shite to figure out, and he hasn't said that he wants to stop working with you. In fact, despite his blabber mouth, he seems committed.
Thanks for this!
