That's basically what I did. I reached a point last spring where I realized I just didn't really need to be in therapy regularly anymore. My T is thrilled that I've reached that point; he considers it a success for me to get to this point. We never really terminated. We just kind of left it at "I'll see you when and if I need to down the road." I checked in with him in early July in a session just to touch base, but since then I really haven't had the need for a session. We've touched base via phone and recently he emailed me (we were really discussing some serious med issues I was seeing with my husband and trying to figure out how to proceed), so he knows how I'm doing. He would have no problem if I decided that I needed to come in for a 50,000 mile tune-up; I wouldn't have to ask permission to do so or anything. It works for us. Kind of like it this way; no drama over terminating -- just a natural progression in our working relationship together.
