i've been in therapy for well over 7 years, 2 or more times a week. i am now down to twice a month.
i realize i have issues like others do, and i have worked really REALLY hard in therapy to get where i am today. and where i am, isn't too bad. yeah, some things trigger me and get in the way, but you know what? i really think i would be okay if i stopped therapy all together.
seems like i dread going 'cause i have nothing to say anymore. i've even made up sh*t just to have something to talk about (nothing very important and not having to do with my sh*t).
i have re-married for the 3rd time (it really IS a charm! lol...), and this is my very first loving, ADULT, no-hostage taking, no beating, screaming, hurtful relationship, let alone a marriage.
i also know that being in this healthy relationship/maaiage may pose problems at first, and in some ways it has but we have talked them out (i.e. my fears re: relationships, always asking "are you mad at me?"; crap like that).
my question is this - how does one pull away from therapy when you don't feel you need it anymore, and if so, how'd you do it? was the T mad?
i just wanna know what the hell i may be in for when i tell my T that i want to stop therapy or at the MINIMUM, come only once a month. gas is expensive, and i live 60 miles away.
