Not to be contrary (and definitely not to make you feel worse), but it must be a tough choice from the therapist's perspective when a client indicates they may not want to continue. If you're too eager and say, "Don't leave, you'll only get worse," the client may resist and cut off ties. If you ignore them too much or say, "It's up to you," the client might feel you don't care about them.

Just a thought that struck me. I too need to feel like a T or P-doc cares about me or I will leave. I did that with the 1st in person therapist. She seemed cold to me and just wanted (and still wants) the insurance money. Talented and degrees up to wazoo or not, if you have no compassion I'm outta there.
