The last Monday of this month will be my last therapy appointment. I'm "graduating".

My therapist is moving to another state, and he and I decided together that I'm ready to end therapy.

Even though I will miss my therapist, friend, confidant and mentor, I'm so ready to do this. I wanted to end therapy about a year ago, but t and I decided that I would continue for a bit to practice more the coping skills I was learning, etc.

It ended up being an amazing last year that led to more healing, awareness and self-understanding than I dreamed possible because it wasn't within my comprehension.

So, while I'm extremely reflective and sad at saying goodbye to this very important person in my life, I'm excited to continue this journey knowing that I will continue to heal and learn on my own with the skills I've gained.

A shell of a woman, fed by fear and emotion lacking understanding, walked into his door those years ago. A SURVIVOR is saying goodbye to so much more than therapy. So many of you have has played a big role in that process. Thank you.
