Well, here I am again almost a year later, still in therapy, but will be cutting back very soon. This is not as scary to me now because I know I can come back if I need to, and I don't have to entirely leave yet. I think it's not as scary because I sense I do have some input into our therapy ending, and that helps me to feel safe. We are going on a field trip pretty soon so I am looking forward to that. I do wonder how It will feel when I walk out the door of his office for the last time. I know for sure that "the little girl" inside will want to run back in and give him another hug. I suppose Part of me will always want to sit next to him on his couch and lean my head on his shoulder. I've never done that, and I know boundaries would prevent that.
I just think it's incredibly sad that the one person who I have connected with so closely happens to be my therapist. I also think that this very connection with all of its feelings and closeness helped me to feel again, and to open my heart to loving feelings. Thank you all for your sharing and understanding.
