Told, T I'm cutting down to once a week.
I'm happy where I've moved too. A lot of my issues have been resolved now because I've moved away from the problem family I was living next door to. Their, elder son was a big trigger for me.
The journey time to T has increased quite a bit. She tried to help me by changing my session times so. I could, go straight from work. But I feel I'm rushing about to much. Plus the money I spend on T could help with the new travel costs.
T said "that's a big change. Going from twice to once a week"
I said I know.
T said if you need to go back the doors always open.
I said I know.
She said "what happens if you get into a bad place?"
I shrugged and said "then I know I can come more"
T said, "I wonder if you'll lose, some of the connection here by cutting back?"
I said, dunno. But to be fair. When we had the long break when you moved, I quite liked it. I dunno why. I knew 'this here' was still there. But I liked being...
T said "you liked being out in the world coping?"
I replied" yes that"
I told her I don't want to quit completely because I'd miss HER.
and that was that.

T said "I think you've been toying with idea if once a, week for a, while?"
I said, yes I have. I've been feeling twice was feeling like to much.
Time will tell.

One thing i noticed in my final session with my t, was that i KNEW i could have confidence in what i was FEELING, because i had done it so many times there before. So i had that same sense of like solidity? And that has been borne out these last six months. And thats what im hearing in your post.

It sounds like you've been thinking about this decision for quite a while and you didn't make it spontaneously. It sounds like your T was cautious but supportive of your desire to go to one time per week. I hope it works well for you. Kit.

You are brave.....I am not in that place right now to cut back to once a week.

Keep us posted on how that is going. What feelings come up? What productive activities are you doing to keep occupied? Things like that.
