> I think you have to separate two things...feeling guilty about going more and "I'm sure I'll be fine." If you really are sure, don't go just because your therapist wants you to. You know yourself pretty well.

I think you hit it in the above paragraph. I don't think I will be fine, perhaps it is one of my never-ending personas that I seem to inhabit..I do want to go but rather feel guilty for being needy. Your post was so helpful, thank you so much and take care
