That sounds excellent. Seems she really hears you, respects your feelings, and is willing to let you take the lead in frequency of appointments. I like that approach myself.
Do you feel less worried that she is focused only on moving toward termination? Did you tell her about about badly you felt before, as you posted here? Hope so, as it's probably better for her to help you if she has the *whole* picture - when you feel really great and stable, and when you feel really horrible and unstable.
I'm really glad you were able to say "next week" and not instead, feel pressured into "2 weeks" because you think that's what *she* wants you to say.... I know I struggle with that issue sometimes with my T. I like to please him and show what aspects of me are "better," yet at the same time, I want to honestly say what I need, NOT what I think he might WANT me to need....
Did that make any sense? Lol..I tried....
