I guess I think that my time is limited because this is the first time we have talked about terminating and she actually thought it was a good time to start to think about it. Other times when I have brought up the topic it was usually because I was avoiding something and just wanted out of the relationship. It just seems like this time was different. She thought it was a good idea too. I know termination is unavoidable - it's going to happen eventually- but I just feel like its getting closer now and therefore my time is somewhat limited. I know I can overact about this at times too. I mean my T seemed happy I could bring it up. She told me it a took a lot of courage on my part. She told me there are many ways to terminate and it was up to me. Methods, when, how much we talk about it- was all up to me. I am very grateful she is letting me control my therapy (as a therapist should). At the same time it scares me that I have brought this up. I guess it just makes the fact that I will eventually leave her more real than it has ever been. Sometimes I am very confident about it and other times I want to cling to her leg and say please dont make me leave! :)
Ok, I probably went on way too much. Does this make any sense?
