Thanks for replying, sunrise. You have a point there - it came as a bit of a shock to me, I'm not sure if I can face leaving so suddenly.

That's a good idea! I'll see if I can bring it up next session. (If I manage to email him, it might be an idea to mention it then, actually.)

He doesn't talk with my parents - he's never even seen my mum before, I don't think, and he's only seen dad when he's come to pick me up. To be honest, I'm not sure if dad would listen - like I said to sister, I don't think he trusts therapists that much.
