So, what's the deal about being cowardly? What do you owe that guy anyways? You've already paid him a lot - $150.00 per session, right? Man, you owe him squat.

Yes, just leave a message that you won't be coming in again. What is cowardly about that? What - you're supposed to 'explain' things to him? Why? Why?

I don't understand why you feel you need to take on another battle with him. If we don't want to fight anymore, is that really being cowardly or is it being wise?

You are not being a coward by giving him the heave-ho by voicemail. To be honest, you'd be more of a coward by caving in to your perceptions that you owe him this; you'd be diminishing yourself by applying his stupid standards to your behavior.

So, stand up for yourself and give the guy his final goodbye. Sorry if I'm coming across too strong but it riles me so much that you've been treated like this when there are wonderful people out there who are also therapists. Please take care of yourself.
