Hmmm. Thanks, Shawn. I think I understand what you're saying. It's similar to what my therapist says.
I should be concentrating on the positives I have gotten out of therapy, so that even if it ends I'm better off than where I was before.
Instead I concentrate on the fear of losing something I value.
I understand it, but I can't seem to translate that into action. :( I think if it ends, I'll be not only back to square one but a few squares before one, because I'll have invested so much of myself and been hurt. And when I'm hurt I determine never to be hurt again, so I don't make myself vulnerable to that hurt, which in this case means I won't trust again.
Ah well, maybe a few more years of therapy will help me with that....
