This is such a healthy attitude. I recently stopped therapy, and one of the reasons I felt ok to do that was knowing I could always go back. I am actually having a bonus session with my therapist tomorrow after a particularly tricky couple of months, and I also know I won't need more because of the groundwork I have set.
Oh man the part about the CDC is so relatable. Covid has been such a trip for my contamination ocd. It's almost been affirming.. like see you guys, germs are bad! It's going to take a lot of work to get back to pre pandemic levels for me.
It's so frustrating but it's been helpful for me to not judge myself for having a backslide! Especially since it was societally endorsed! Sending love! - A

Bonus or booster sessions are huge! I wish more people know they are an option!
