I asked my therapist not to bring it up because it upset me when I didn't feel ready. Then about 2 years ago I knew I was doing better and for several months in a row I had to miss one session per week and I did ok. So I hesitantly tried on my own and now we routinely do 3x/month and I handle that well. But it had to wait for me to be ready, not for when my therapist thought I might be ready.
