That was very brave (and also healthy) of you to go to our session to terminate once you had decided it was over. With my first T, I never terminated, I just stopped going. (I was very emotionally avoidant.) So kudos to you for being very mature and going to end things in person. It is still painful for the person who does the terminating. You will have some grief...

FWIW, my 2nd and current T has been a real keeper. We have done things in therapy that my first T did not have the skills for. So if you still feel you can benefit from therapy, don't give up. Your second T may be the one who can really help.
