(((((peaches))))) I don't have any answers and at some point will also face ending therapy with a therapist with whom I share a deep connection. I don't look forward to it. I know I will be sad. Since I am quite an avoidant person, I don't think too much about it now, but will wait until closer to the end.

Last year, I started a thread and asked people to share their positive termination stories. Often we hear about the bad ones here but not the good. I wanted to read about terminations that went well, were satisfying (though sad), etc. I thought reading these stories might help me visualize an ending that was sad but meaningful and caring.

Perhaps some words in that thread might help. Here is the thread:
