Another thing -- have you come up with therapy goals? Sometimes we need goals in therapy in order to make progress with things going on in our lives. They give us direction and motivation. I'm not saying you need to continue therapy. I'm just saying that sometimes we hit a roadblock because we don't have any goals. But it's possible you've learned everything you can learn from therapy and thus don't need it anymore. In that case, I'd say I completely understand why you're thinking about quitting therapy. Definitely don't spend money on something you're not benefitting from.

Hey, Blue. Your logic regarding keeping my T makes sense, particularly since she doesn't charge us anything. She only collects what the insurance will pay her.
As to goals: I think I have neglected goals largely because life is generally moderated by ECT. My mood swings have been minor since 2015 when I started ECT, I think. When we last met she did encourage me to set a goal of more cycling.
