I had a long term therapist once.. who was my only crutch in life; my only contact outside of work.
I decided eventually that I was going to stop seeing her... and instead of spending my life waiting for the appointments with her, I was going to *live*.
And I did that.
Letting go of her was so hard.
But I lived.
And made new friends.
And filled the T gap with social contacts and new experiences and new relationships.

There were things I still needed to work out in therapy, and I have started seeing a different T now, after years of just 'getting on with life'.

I don't think I regret leaving the other T - overall. There are some regrets about it.
But I do think I made the right decision.

Taking away the 'crutch' and learning to live with out it was ultimately good for me, I think.

If I hadn't done it then I think I would probably still be there, living just to see my therapist two days a week.
