Termination. Yep, the word that brings terror into some of our hearts.

But, it seems I don't need T anymore. I love my sessions with her. I look forward to sessions with her. I enjoy my contact with her. (Heck, she even did a home session once with me when her office space wasn't available).

Yet, I'm not in dire straits anymore. I've found myself (so to speak). I understand myself now. I am able to live a more authentic life now. I am able to 'manage' my emotions much better now.

I am no longer 'crippled' by fear, anger and shame.

Is there a compelling reason to keep seeing her? I want to but I also don't believe I 'need' to.

She and I have agreed to discuss it next session.

Have any of you initiated termination because you believe you're 'done'?
i bring up termination several times a month. my t says its bc im afraid shes going to terminate me so I want to leave before she has a chance to do it to me.
