She said we will distance out sessions, but she won't leave. That has helped me a ton. And she's proven herself to me. We tapered down to once every 3-4 weeks, but when I need her more frequently, she's there. She trusts me to be honest whether it's truly a need or just a want. If it's just a want, she will acknowledge my feelings and desires and help me with them. If it's a need, she fits me into her schedule.
This is why people often give the response "talk to your T". I even got that on my thread, hehe. Your T is supposed to help guide you through this. This IS a main part of therapy: learning how to get your needs met. Don't be ashamed about it. Everyone needs to learn this at some point. It's good that you recognize it. If your T is a good T, she'll help you through this.

I love this. I wish my T beileved this, or saw therapy this way.
