Perhaps, it's time to end this dance with my T.

We're at that point where it doesn't really make sense any more- she's acknowledged it as well. She's left it up to me though- I'm to tell her on my next session whether or not I'd like to keep going.

Before, I'd get these ridiculous anxiety attacks thinking about what to say, what to do, opening up parts of myself.
Now, I just show up.
I never really had set goals per se with T, but I've seen life improve.
Just got to stay on my meds- which shouldn't be a problem. I don't like the person I am without them.
We've tread lightly, we've danced out of rhythm, we've rewritten the beats....
She led, I a silent partner until it became equal.
Is this the end of our staccato? Should it be?

My safe place... is now with T. When I need to think, I imagine myself in that room...

I don't understand what is wrong with this? Perhaps you are comfortable, but not feeling comfortable about that...

.... maybe that is something you need to run from?

Oh no, we still fight... all... the time... -_-'
I'm just content with it like that. She on the other hand... not so much :P

Dunno about the running. *I don't quite understand what you're saying*


I'm not sure how I feel about ending. I don't like it, as it's become a part of my schedule- but I can't keep it integrated into my life.

can you "space" your sessions some. Like if you see your therapist every 2 weeks now go for every 3 weeks a few times, then maybe once a month. See how that feels.
For me, i would be scare to stop "cold turkey" .
Just my thought, make the termination gradual.

The running from feeling comfortable, running from therapy because the tension has been relieved. What if you stayed? What if you did something different, this time?

I hope you will talk about your post with your T.
