thanks for the insight. I havent tested out my own experience yet...but, I'm tempted to believe that a lot of the TRUE work of therapy, is actually done once you terminate because, maybe thats the true test of a job well done. Therapy is supposed to help you learn enough about yourself so you take what you learn and put it into practice in your daily life! i could be wrong but, if you don't do that then therapy loses its purpose....i do agree though, sometimes the "small" things are actually "big" things and vice versa, thats why we have to give value to our pain. to our struggle. this is what i think.
