(just jinxed it I'm sure)

Last session was on Dec. 16th. T took Christmas off. I'm surprised, but I've felt pretty good. Not saying there weren't challenges, but overall, I've felt as good as I have in a long time.

My first thought is that its due to having a "break" in digging things up, I'm not sure. I'm definitely going back...just a surprising outcome.

Any thoughts from those of you who've had therapy a while? I've only been in it about 5 months. Btw, I like my T. She's awesome...has helped me so much. No missing her, etc....just putting it in context.

Appreciate the feedback

I went about 2 and a half years without therapy before going back last spring. I thought I did pretty good, I was in a good place. I wasn't too attached to my T at the time so when she went on leave for surgery I just didn't make another appt with her.

Its good to be ok during your break. It just shows how much you T is helping you

I too had a three week break and felt fabulous! I had ups and downs but able to navigate them pretty well and put into context how I felt. I'd been waffling terminating pre-break as my insurance ended 12/31 but through discussions with T decided to wrap-up in January to tie up a couple of loose ends. After feeling so great during the break I questioned if I should stick with that plan. I had my first post-break session last Thursday and sure enough after wondered why the heck I was there, not digging up emotions feels so good. Reality I need to dig up these last few but still I can acknowledge the break was really, really freeing.

I'm going back this week. Will definitely bring up with her...curious to see what she thinks about it. Glad you're doing well!
