Hi Antigua,
Thanks for your post. I guess my goal has been, for a while now, to leave therapy feeling really "clean." I see now that doing so will require confronting transference and working through the deepest issues. I discussed this with my therapist--she strongly believes I can leave, clean and healthy and in fact could leave now and do fine--but she senses, and she's right, that I'm not ready yet. That I want more.
I asked how long it would take for me to feel good and complete and clean about leaving but she wouldn't commit to a timeframe but I think if I'm focused it won't be too, too much longer and I'm sure as heck willing to go for another year if I can feel even better than I'm feeling now (and now is pretty great!)
How long have you been in therapy? Do you see it as long-termish or are you working towards an end-goal?
