I agree with those who say they have some light sessions and have that can be an important part of therapy. Whether it's relationship-building with the T, talking about some successes, etc. I think it can help. Progress also isn't linear, which my T has said multiple times, particularly when I worry I'm not making enough progress. And stuff going on in one's life can interfere. Like the pandemic, for example, which halted some of my progress in certain areas.
