well, no lauren.. it wouldn't be gone at all.. it would fester actually. One cannot really do half of therapy. If there are issues opened, you have to resolve them. If it is cut off suddenly then the result is extremely painful. Trust me, been there. Remember that the pain you're wading through is part of the process for you... therapy really is a no pain no gain thing. You will attaint great knowledge of yourself through this pain lauren. Don't give up. T will come back and you will regain that sense of security.

stormy.. you really need to address this directly with her. i know how it is though... afraid to bring it up because it may be less than you want/need/hope for. Considering someone else is awful. i was forced into that and hated it... in the end it worked out. You will have to decide if partial care is what you need... ask her honest opinion on that. If you decide together that you will need more than she can give, perhaps that part time period can be used to work with someone new.. the three of you together. It might ease a transition. i do not envy this for you.. i am so sorry. i hope you will be ok. Does this mean 6 months without any T at all? i cannot imagine that will be easy... many hugs to you

i'm distraught myself... had a very bad time last night. i had this intense set of realizations about the state of my life... and i saw T's advice in a different light. The combination felt like my reality was unravelling... i seriously was afraid of losing my sanity. That has only happened a couple of times over my adult life. Having one's core beliefs challenged can cause this. i also became vividly aware of several serious problems with my current situation and that if i do not make changes rapidly i will be in deep trouble. My life is and has been an illusionary state for several months. i am terrified now. Financially.. i am so very vulnerable and there is a tidal wave just hanging there... i could lose T...


i simply have to cut back on seeing him.. but i really do need him as often as i have been seeing him. i need the 2xweek.. even he has seen that. What i am embarking on with him is intense and i am very sensitive and vulnerable right now. i almost never talk about this... ok, i never talk about this... but i have a different way of thinking, and my "way of thinking" makes me, i believe, also vulnerable to break down. i told T i chose him because i felt as if he could out think me... i know i challenge him. Deeper thinking can lead to profound change and understanding, but it can also mean one can just lose their grip.
