I see him now for a half-an-hour a month. We have cut back very, very gradually from an hour a week, to half-an-hour, to every two, then every three weeks, now every month. I started seeing another therapist about two years ago for DBT (his suggestion) and I see her twice a month for an hour. I've started to feel a lot less dependent on him. I can actually imagine him retiring (he's in his early 70s) without being devastated. I couldn't have imagined that a year ago. I always understood the limits of the relationship, but I didn't really believe it or accept it. And now, I'm coming to accept it.So that's progress. It's taken me eight years though.
