I want to do what you suggest but I want to do it without worry. And I can't seem to do that. I keep asking questions like, "it is Ok for me to come this much, right?" or "what happened to me was bad, bad enough for therapy, right?" I feel like I need to justify what I want. I can't just want it.
This is an old circle. We've been around and around the "need vs. want" cycle. Sometimes you can't have what you want. What you want isn't good for you. But I'm having a hard time separating need from want here.
Wouldn't it be healthier to back myself away and fill up that time with other self-soothing, self actualizing pursuits? (I know what you are thinking, you think I'd use the time for work. You are probably right.)
