I am sadden to hear how difficult the adjustment to 3x per week has been. It scares me when I think about the future. I wonder why your T is hesitant to discuss termination with you. Does he specifically ask you to sit up now? If so, maybe he wants to move your therapy in a different direction - or try a different approach. Maybe he wants you to explore the possibility of termination by talking about it with him. Maybe he is waiting to hear more from you about where you are at with it.
I swing wildly from "I love therapy" to "I hate going". We talked a lot about what that means, why those feelings are coming up now, etc. It has settled some. It's interesting how my brain keeps scanning the surface, trying to find criticism in her voice, re-visiting past hurts to justify the "don't get too attached". But in quieter moments, I feel the connection and the reassurance in her voice. It's a process like no other. It's certainly not for the faint of heart.
I hope you find your connection again. I'm not so sure he is letting you go just yet, maybe just letting you feel your oats.
