Today was my session with my therapist whom I've been seeing for the last 2 1/2 years. I have been doing really well of late and have thought about cutting my sessions back to once every two weeks instead of once a week. This is a really BIG step for me and so we discussed it today and my therapist agreed that I was doing well and that it might be time to do this if it feels right to me. Then I started talking about how much I was going to miss him some day. I was telling him about a book called "The Five People We Will Meet In Heaven"...a very lovely book and one of my favorites. I told him that he would be one of the five significant people in my life that I would want to meet agin in heaven one day...big statement for me!

THEN HE SAID..."I'll be looking for you too!" I was so touched and floored by his statement the I am still just swimming in sea of very positive emotions. This was such a profound statement to me and it put so many things into persepctive for me. It meant so much to me knowing the he cared enough to really want to see me again someday in heaven. We have loved each other for a long time...a gentle therapeudic love that I am so fond of. I am very anxious about cutting back to twice a month but feel I am ready now to give this a try. It feel like the beginning of the end of a long-term relationship that I never want to see end but know that someday it will. Things don't seem real right now but I am feeling positive about my future even though I am a little scared.

I just wanted to share some of my feelings with you all and get some feedback as I feel like I am venturing into a space where I have never been before.

What a beautiful session. I'm so glad you were able to express that to your therapist and that he reciprocated with such warmth. I feel much the same toward my own therapist and can't bear the thought of our relationship coming to an end. I'm not ready to go to fewer sessions myself, but it's great that you are feeling so confident! I imagine it'll be a hard transition, but you could talk about it each time and find ways to feel good with the change. I imagine you could always throw in an extra session if you needed one too.

Best of luck!
