I definitely feel it's a phase too. I've gone from where my therp/pdoc consumed me (the frequent calls/e-mails between sessions) to the other extreme (where I am now) where I simply don't go to therapy or even think about it. There must be a healthy middle ground, where you go for help for a problem, receive it and it's over. Perhaps your depression is making you especially vulnerable now?
I am certain I'm one of those people who do best in denial, I am functioning quite well presently- but when I have to confront issues in therapy, then I get more obsessed and depressed. Since I don't want to feel like that I simply don't go unless there comes a point when I absolutely have to- like a manic episode where I'm hospitalized or forced to go by my spouse, etc. Maybe that isn't the best way to get healthy, but it's one of those "I am what I feel" type of things.
Now I hope THAT made sense :-)
take care, judy
