Thanks wishingstar,
I think maybe the relationship would work well that way. He never said I couldnt' make an extra appointment during termination but I tried not too and sometimes that is stressful in itself. I kinda like the idea to just make an appointment when I feel like it, maybe it might be once a week for a month, maybe 2 months might go by. I guess the only thing I am worried about is sometimes he is really booked up and I would have to wait a week.
Maybe something in him is changing how he feels about our theraputic relationship. Or maybe it reverse psych he is doing. Because when he really pressured me, it made me resist even more and kinda made me upset that he was sort of forcing it on me. But when he stopped pressuring me, I actually cancelled my appointment with him because I had nothing new to talk about and I was so busy with school.
I don't know maybe therapy will just sort of die on its own. Maybe me and him will suddenly realize that it has been months since I have seen him. hmmm. But then I see him at the gym too, so that is another element. That situation has gotten more friendly and comfortable between us. It seems that when he let down his "professional " guard about everyone seeing us talking at the gym, and relaxed, knowing that I talk to almost everyone there, that me talking to him really doesn't "show" that I know him from somewhere else. He has changed at the gym and it makes me feel more relaxed seeing him now.
I feel I can even go up and talk a little to him, and I don't worry about him worrying about it. Plus I keep convesations short and can tell when he doesn't want to talk, and I leave him alone then. Sorry this is so long. I am glad you are helping me think this all out!
