I'm so glad you are feeling so well and strong. And it is nice to hear that you could pop back in when you had an issue to sort out. :)
I don't think you "owe" your therapist anything except your respect, honesty and to pay her for her work. But that said, wouldn't you let any other person know your decision if you left it at "I'll think about it"?
I've come to the conclusion that too many think that therapy is somehow excluded from the general rules of polite behavior or common courtesies. I know that honesty prevails during sessions but I just can't buy that simply saying, "I'm good but thanks" is anything but nice. Are you taking care of her? Maybe but so what?
I promise I'm not ranting at you. I just think we can analyze any and all behavior for hidden motives. Sometimes it is relevent. Sometimes late is just late.
