Thanks LT, that's an interesting thing to ponder - that she might have felt rejected too when we first talked about my not needing/wanting to come weekly anymore. I mean I had such a fierce attachment to her for the longest time... maybe it is something along those lines as she's feeling me pulling away from her. But then again, aren't they basically supposed to work themselves out of a job with each client? I guess even if that's true, like she's always said it's a relationship and maybe they get attached to us, too...

You reminded me of something else she said during this - she did also say that I need to decide what I want that container to be. In my head I was snarkily thinking hello that's what I'm trying to DO right now. It's all good. I've done a little journaling about it this evening and I'm feeling better. Gonna let her deal with her, and I'll deal with me. And in December we can talk about the burning out thing.
