My most important goal was to ask T about how many sessions I get. We've never had the conversation about how many sessions to expect, or what our long-term goals are.
And so I asked at the end, and I was SO happy. T said that I can continue therapy as long as I need, and make appointments as needed, and that he would be there as a safety net. Isn't that great? I can decide when I'm doing okay, and when I'm needing help, and know that I have a person there for me? That I won't need to start over with a new T.
He said that I've come a long way, and that I am no longer 'in bad shape' as I was earlier. I'm happy that my progress does not mean that I am to be denied support in the future, as I had feared.
((((feeling warm and fuzzies from my T for the first time ever))))
That's a pretty good outcome towards having a goal. I need to remember this, for the next time when my goals involve a difficult conversation with a person of authority.
