The fear that T will abandon you (the patient) is natural, and with that comes the desire to keep the T for as long as possible. There's nothing wrong with that (in spite of what the HMOs say.)

It doesn't feel very natural or that there is nothing wrong with it. At least to me anyway. I (the patient) should not be worried about being abandoned by a health care provider! But I do... and I'm not feeling OK with at present....#$*@!!! ...I'm attached and I don't want to be...I think I just developed another adjustment disorder. Wonder how many disorders my insurance will cover?

Often it's the slowing down of therapy that allows you to accomplish more, and often more quickly.

I think I have a different view on this. I think slowing down therapy is a T's way of saying to themselves, "Holyshit did I help open up a can of worms today! I better give him/her an extra week to dig themselves out of that smelly pile of pooh and regain their composure before I have to deal with them again." While telling the patient,"Wow, your getting soooo much better. Lets see how much you can accomplish on your own for a while."
