My T usually makes some kind of comment about winding down or wrapping things up. She will usually ask me what I want to take with me from the session and we spend a few minutes talking about that. If it's been a particularly emotional session (like the last one was), she'll ask me if I'm okay to drive, or ask me to email her an update later.

My T is very good about not just ending abruptly. I also tend to keep an eye on the clock, because I don't want to get in to something deep just before the end of session, and then have to sit with that all week. I've learned to try and bring up difficult things within the first half hour of the session, so that I can deal with the emotions with my T's help, rather than having to leave and deal with it on my own.

There have been times, though, that I really resist ending the session...there have been times when I've just wanted to curl up in a corner of her office and stay there for another hour or so.
