Yes, you're absolutely right. It's not a permanent decision. I might have trouble with going just because I want to, though. I just hope I don't start acting out so that I have a reason to *need* to go. It's something I can see myself doing, to my shame.
I think part of it is that I don't think of it as letting something go partially. I think of it as letting one thing go completely and substituting something else instead. Twice a week therapy is so very different from once a week therapy. I'm not sure the difference can be explained to those who haven't done both, but I'll bet you know what I'm talking about. It's almost like apples and oranges. Or like having a next door neighbor move across town and meeting once a week for lunch. It's just not the same thing as having a good friend as a next door neighbor.
I don't want to give that up. But not wanting to really isn't enough at this stage in my therapy. :(
