Yay!!!! So glad to hear this!
I guess I'd ask the same question that Dinah asked, have you thought about continuing with the Transition T?
About not continuing, for me it was a gut-feel and unanticipated. You just feel like you don't want to go back--not a bad feeling, just a "no thanks" feeling. And I evaluate it daily I'd say, seeing if it's gonna change. It helps to know it's there if I want to go back.
Have you thought specifically about what you want to get out of therapy? Maybe a break would allow you to gather your thoughts about if you want it and if so what you want? I know I started therapy with real specific goals in mind and only a max of maybe 3 months. Three years later my goals were a lot less clear. A break might help in that respect?
> It went really well. I'm impressed with her ability to help me sort things out on my own, without imposing her own judgments. It was intense. I spent the whole session fighting back tears. But it feels good, productive, like it's helping. (I'm not sure how yet.)

> I might just need to take a break from therapy. Is that possible? Would that be okay? Just wondering aloud.
