Thank you all so much for your thoughtful responses. I turned 20 about a month ago while I was still in NYC. Even that seemed hard to be away from home while it was my birthday. I struggled alot, and did unfortunately turn back to old (negative) coping mechanisms while I was away. A1so my parents still pay for my therapy and have the control of making my decisions. I've been seeing this T for 2 years usually once a week, but also sometimes twice a week. The main focus of my therapy was how to cope in healthier ways and how to not be so self-destructive.
I was able to talk with my parents and they were understanding of how I wasn't ready for such a drastic change, when I already had to face the trauma of coming home and not being able to complete my internship. They also talked with my T and he is in agreement to keep seeing me, but offered referrals in case I ever felt like I needed some more intensive help. I was probably panicking that it wouldn't work out to keep seeing him and now I feel lots better. Thanks everyone.
