I did. I thought my termination process would take about 6-8 month, and I would be finishing up this February. I was having 24/7 contact. I went away for the summer with less phone and email contact. Saw my therapist the month of August, 1-2/week with very intense 1 1/2-2 hour sessions working on the biggest and most important thing I failed at in life. After I took care of that, it took 2 weeks, and I was able to walk away from therapy October 8, 2013. I've seen her two times in public. My life has been so busy, even tough at times, yet I usually always go to bed knowing that I did the best I could. I even enjoy waking up in the morning.

Some people stay in therapy their whole lives for various reasons. If you don't feel you need to do that then I think you will know when you've had enough and can walk away.

Ask your therapist what his/her vision is for you.

Interestingly I thought I would have some money to spend on me, but I don't. It's all being spent on college tours and application fees for my kiddo. And, I'm okay with that.
