Dinah,
Your post made me wonder if we would have more of these kinds of sessions if we were more honest with how we feel and think about them...like we are here on the board. But I was surprised to see that you classified this as a more direct discussion of some of this, I feel like I spend a lot of time in therapy talking about the relationship, how real it is and what my concerns are. Last Thursday I told him again I didn't want to need therapy because I was ending therapy. He totally understood that but told me again that he most likely would outlast me...which is comforting.
I'm starting to give up the idea that the relationship is governed by a hour-glass. That he has a private plan of how long all this should take. And even if we ever get "done" with my "issues" then I can still lean on him for support.
I think your therapist is really great. :)
