It gets me wondering though, if I felt so competent and functional and basically, happy, all the time, would I need to go to therapy anymore? Is there going to come a time when I go sit in his office and have no needs and there is nothing to say? And then will that mean it is time to never come back? I mean, it would be dumb to keep paying for therapy if we are just going to discuss hobbies and eat fruit together, right? LOL, I can't believe this whole termination topic is occurring to me now--but I just felt really functional today.... Don't worry, sunny, it's probably only fleeting (call out the malevolent ego states!).

That's kind of what happened for me. Only you start thinking about terminating when things just get going in the not-much-to-talk-about direction. I worked on terminating for over a year (of which my T was gone during one 4+ month period). When you set a date to terminate/make up a "plan" things start coming together faster and focus gets sharper, etc. It's not a bad time, I found it pretty exciting; a lot of discoveries that might have been hiding in the all-the-time-in-the-world part of my head and heart came out :-)
