That’s really great!

I don’t think we realize how much we give up trying to get validation and soothing from therapists between sessions. My former therapist was big into between session support, but it created its own anxiety/relief cycle waiting for a response. For whatever reason, the high I got from a response was worth the anxiety of waiting so I wasn’t motivated to stop.

I felt best leaving therapy completely (even after email support was pulled), but as things are processing and settling I think it was a sign that I was ready to leave. Sometimes things that seem difficult and traumatic work out for the best.
