In reply to leaving therapy, posted by deerock on November 19, 2009, at 18:27:43
I recently cut back to every other week. This was something my T and I agreed on, however. The intent is that we will gradually wind it down to where I'm just checking in every couple of months about meds.
I'm finding it painful, but then I've been soooo attached to him.
