T and I mainly talked about how important our relationship was, and what we both learned. He said that in all of his years of doing therapy, only one other relationship had ended in a planned "we're done, this is the last session" kind of way...that people tended to just start to cancel appointments and fade away. So he wasn't totally comfortable with the process either.

What I told myself, and T, was that I just wanted it to be good enough. It didn't have to be a "perfect" ending...I didn't want that kind of pressure and potential disappointment. I told myself that whatever happened would be okay.

SO. We talked about our relationship, and we reflected a little bit on how far I've come - we told each other some stories that made us laugh about how things were when I first started therapy. T talked more than me, because I was a mess...that helped.

T also told me some things to do when I left - to not isolate, to let people support me through the transition, to remember that I'm deserving of love. That helped. He knows me and knew what was most likely to trip me up when that last session was over.

If I had to plan a last session, I think I would want to reflect on how I've changed, and I would want T to help me problem-solve in advance about the things that I might struggle with after therapy is over.
