jacq, I struggle with this too. I see my T for help with my problems, but I also see him because I just plain like seeing him--I benefit from his warmth/empathy, etc. Lately I have been feeling like my problems have diminished a lot since we first began therapy. I have come a long way, with his help, and gotten better at solving my own difficulties in a lot of ways, like I have learned to feel my feelings instead of stuffing them inside. So even though I need his help less, I don't want to stop seeing him, because I like being with him. I worry that this last reason is not enough reason to see him, that I should have more problems in order to justify my visits, that I should step aside for people who need his help more. It's a quandary.
