I don't even feel like I'd miss her tbh. I mean I'd miss seeing her cause she's been a big part of my recovery, however I wouldn't miss seeing her in the capacity of a therapist. It'd be more weird to not see than missing her I guess. She's done her job, I've gotten better, and therefore I no longer need to see her. Or want to. It's like a job at the house, you pay someone to remodel, they do it. You part ways. It feels very freeing to be better. And obviously it'll be a bit more emotional than a contractor etc. But the way I feel now it's just business. I know she isn't my friend, I know she isn't a family member. She's just a therapist who is exceptionally good at her job.

I hope it goes well for you. You could ask her but more often than not, it's the client that deems 'i'm okay now' however sometimes the T does it especially if they think they aren't being effective, they may refer you to someone else.
