I really don't think t use it to try to hook you back in, unless he thinks it is in your better interest.

I'm in this process right now. T brought it up, not me. It was really hard the first few weeks, I started a thread on it, I was feeling like throwing up...

The session since we first talk about the end were great and really useful. We are exploring why I react like this, what it means, what I will do next, what if I think I need therapy again in the future, etc. We still have to decide when actually will be the last session, but I'm not ready to do that.

So in my case, those session are really useful. I would have been really sad if we would have stopped the week we decided it would be a good time to end. Slowly, I'm starting to feel like I can do it for real... What is new is that actually tell my t how I really feel, something I have never really done before cause I wanted him to thought I was independant and so on and so forth.

Anyway, even though some session are hard, it definitely helps a lot and I would have missed a huge part of the therapy process if I would have run away like I felt doing just after we decided it was time to end.

Take care
Faith
