> Is she recommending additional support like AA?
yes, but i don't want to go. i used to do that, and i feel like i can't go back. it fills me with dread to think about going to a meeting. and i know it's going to be very hard to do it without that kind of support. but i'm gonna have to try.
> I know it's hard not to but in the end it's probably impossible to compare people's progress--we're different people with different issues and most likely at different places in our lives. In terms of getting enough out of therapy, it's hard to figure out if you just feel like it's not moving fast enough or if, truly, it's not worth the time and money you're investing--that you're simply not getting enough out of it. I go through periods of thinking it's a waste and then I'll have a breakthrough. I've "quit" therapy five times in the almost two years I've been going (it never stuck but that gives you an idea of how torn I've been about staying in.)
yeah. unlike you, i haven't wanted to quit. but that could just be a result of the strength of my attachment to my t.
can i ask how old you are? and whether you're in a serious relationship/married?
