I just ended therapy a few weeks ago, definitely before my T or I expected it to end.

I asked him for help in ending it. I told him that I wanted to be able to hold onto all of the "good" in our years of work together.

I think in the end, we both made sure we said what we wanted/needed to say, about how we felt about each other, our relationship, and the work. We reminisced a little about how things were when I started. I told him what I learned from him and he told me what he learned from me.

How long have you been with T?? We were together a long time, so we had a pretty intense/intimate last session. If it weren't such a long-term relationship, I think I would have made sure to thank him and to tell him what I learned that I was leaving with.

Ending therapy is hard!!!
