Hi emmanual and annie... thanks for responding. I hope that each of your cutting back continues to go well. It certainly gives me hope that mine will work out. I suppose, the worst is that it doesn't quite fit for me and I go back to 2x per week. The trick for me is to not see that as a failure, but just as having different needs in a different moment. Or, realizing that I need the 2x more than I thought I did. It's all in perspective I suppose.
And Annie, I think Dinah did say that 2x a week is totally different than twice as much as once a week therapy. I absolutely agree. There's some sort of deepening, I guess because you're not always spending a chunk of the time "catching up". But, like emmanual said, it is like growing up and away from your parents and I think I might be ready for that. Again, if I decide I'm not, or something changes in my life, it's ok to change my mind. I just have to remind me of that.
Thanks for the reassurance and validation from both of you... very helpful.
