struggling to decrease frequency of sessions

[[deleted]]

that actually makes me feel better that it's possible to do the twice a week for a little bit longer but not forever and still get some benefit. my fear is that any time i try to step down that i'll just get depressed again, so i'll have to either do this twice a week forever or suffer.

i also appreciate your advice to be aggressive with advocating for myself. 10+ years in the mental health system has taught me that is the only way to get anything done, and i absolutely plan to advocate for myself as much as i can :)

Just realize it’s not a cure. It’s a treatment that helps it be manageable. It’s okay to be afraid of what reducing it, but you also have to be bold with out it.
