kicking therapist to curb

I dont like my therapist, and I cant find one I like. I have been spending $45 a session, every one to two weeks. About $135 or $180 a month. I just moved to San Antonio, well eleven months now, from Colorado. I am really home sick, have friends back there and a step grandmother.

My idea- I can spend 150 for round trip air fare to Denver, I know the bus routes very well and it would be no problem with ground transportation once I got there. I could go on the first weekend of the month and attend my old church, which I really really miss. I work right by the airport, leave Friday after work and arrange to take Mondays off returning Monday afternoon or if work needs me late Sunday. This would give me adventure which I love, the ability to re connect to some friends, let me travel some where I know and like and return to the church I miss so damn much. I know you can never go home, but I feel that this would do more for me than therapy.

Any thoughts.

If you feel this would greatly help you then why not? You would be spending the same amount and get to see family and friends. Hugs

If you think this would be good for you, I'd give it a try at least once. You could look into recommendations for a new therapist too though. I would just be worried that something that helps once a month might not be as effective as something on a more regular basis, you know? I know that my weekly visits comfort me and help me keep focused. They kind of make me feel more accountable.. I really like my therapist though. I'm just throwing out my opinion. You know yourself better than anybody. :)
Good luck.
