I'm exactly where you are now (I haven't gone to therapy in over 2 months), but I recognize the reasons I don't go. Yes, it's difficult- especially when you deal with the awful stuff and you want to flee out the door as soon as your therapist brings it up. But I'm the first to recognize the value in it, my therapist and shrink have prevented me from suicide twice and have always been there for me at my darkest moments. I just wonder if you have hit a difficult patch (which is when you need help the most). I usually ask my therapist to back off then and she respects it. I'll probably go back soon because I'm in a downward spiral, but I wonder if you can speak to your therapist about cutting back sessions because you feel overwhelmed? It's certainly worth a try. I truly hope you feel better- judy
