That's funny about your therapist being so disorganized. It's sort of a lovable quality when it doesn't interfere with you & your therapy!
I had thought I read once that you didn't call him on the phone too much. I hate leaving messages too, b/c sometimes it takes her longer than I want to get back to me.
That's great that you're feeling strong enough to reduce your sessions. I have been meaning to read thru that thread further down about termination angst. Why have you been feeling angry about it? What specifically--angry at him? How have you been feeling about it lately?
I am still planning to go down to every other week from every week. I went last week and I have to go this week again to get on the right schedule with my therapist's appts. But the week of the 13th I'm still planning to go without it...we'll see. I'm not sure how long this will last. I haven't been feeling a lot related to it, I think in part b/c my therapist didn't initiate it (I think I would've felt angry or disconnected or something if she did). I don't know. I've also been totally preoccupied by this issue with my boss lately, so I haven't been thinking a lot about therapy. But still, thinking about terminating completely gives me total angst. I'm still very attached to my T. I guess you have to take these things slowly.
Keep me posted on what you decide to do.
