It probably doesn't matter technically, but I just wondered if seeing a T every 4 months would be considered "in therapy" or "out of therapy?" My T said it would be good for me to still see her every 4 months, and she wants me to. That was a relief because I thought she was just waiting for me to decide that I could leave for good. It's like a tune-up every 4 months. I am SO glad she feels that way even though she thinks I'm pretty much recovered. I feel so much relief at having this 6 years of therapy "work out." You can't imagine! I want to dance for joy! Hey, don't we have that dancing banana thingy on this board?

This is a tough one... I probably wouldn't consider that "in therapy." I mean if you think about seeing the regular doctor for a "check-up" that doesn't imply you're sick or under treatment. This is kinda the same thing where you're doing well, you just have a resource where you can see her and make sure your life is moving in the right direction. This being said, referring to it as being in treatment wouldn't be wrong at all. That's tough... that's like riding the fence. I do like how clk referred to this as maintenance. I think that's decent. I'mm glad you're doing so well. That's terrific... keep up the good work!!!!

clk6, I like that! Maintenance therapy. Plus I can see her "as needed" too. Hooray! I'm just in a goofy mood.

gravyyy: Thanks!

Pachy: dancing chilis are good too! I must have missed them though I kept searching. Thanks!
