I'm so glad you are doing well! Double edge sword though, isn't it?
I think you talk about whatever is on your mind. (Don't you love the rule about there are no rules?) But what seems on your mind is: "Who am I now?" If you aren't sick, and you aren't depressed, then who are you?? And who are these people in your life in relation to you? How do you relate to your mother is she isn't caring for your health? How do you stop waiting for a relapse into depression and reclaim your joy? How do you allow yourself a bad day without it turning into 3 or 4 or a month of bad days?
You could talk about how you take care of yourself if you aren't in therapy anymore. You've chosen a tough profession so self-care needs to be high on the list.
My therapist tells me that there are always things to talk about, that life is just like that. I admit to a huge amount of envy, but I'm glad you can enjoy the beauty of the Holidays.
