I may sometimes feel like I'm growing past the need for therapy, but I rarely think it's hindering me. But I certainly think that it *could* be true in some instances, and I think it is something everyone should consider. I mean, I suppose it's possible to rely on our therapists instead of others rather than relying on them in addition to others. We might be neglecting some of our needs because therapy is meeting other needs so well. We might get so introspective that we lose connections to the outside world.
Why don't we all (or as many of us as wish to) pledge to assess ourselves on a periodic basis?
Where am I right now? Where would I like to be? How is therapy helping me to get there?
With your therapist out of town, this might be a good time to think about the questions, even if you leave some conclusions open till she comes back.
Maybe I'll start another thread (or someone else could) so that anyone who wants to periodically assess themselves can do it.
Sort of like my weight thread on the Health Board.
P.S. Delightful to see you again.
