Today was my first session of every two weeks instead of one. I told my t I was not sure I was ready for every two weeks. Early on she told me she would let me know when I was ready so that I could save some sick time from work. She says I'm ready, but I am apprehensive because I have been having a hard time just waiting a week between sessions.
When your therapist has told you are ready for the next step, how have you handled this news? I *think* I want to grow, and I *think* I want to finish therapy, but with this reaction, I am not so sure. Bluemountains |

I was in your spot a few months ago and then I'm back again! - UGH! You always have the choice to go back if you want or need to. I personally think the attachment part of therapy to be the hardest part to deal with. JMI

Don't get me wrong...I hate my social anxiety and I do want it to get better. But I'm terrified of leaving my therapist. Really. She's told me so often how much she likes me. Even half-jokingly, she used the "L" word
 Yes, this has happened. So I've got this sort of strange intimate childlike attachment to her now that part of me would do anything to hold onto forever.Even if I know I can't.

My T has never suggested that we meet less often. She has once or twice (when I was going fortnightly) suggested more often. But these days she leaves the frequency up to me.

I'm glad to see that your T thinks you're making progress! I'm a bit jealous considering the place I'm at right now.
I would worry about the attachment part because it is really hard for me right now waiting a week between sessions.
