I just stopped seeing my T because I did not believe that he was focusing on treating my CPTSD. Oddly, in the final session, he kept asking me about our "relationship." I had no idea what he was talking about and replied that I really don't bond with others. Still, he kept asking about the relationship we had developed over the months. Again, I replied that I really don't bond with others and always saw it as a doctor and patient relationship and nothing more. He seemed incredulous at this - that over the months I had developed no emotional warmth towards the bond that the two of us shared by talking about my most private feelings and activities. Needless to say, I was very put off by these questions and was glad that I was stopping therapy. I was there to make headway with my issues and obtain treatment for CPTSD, not make friends. I knew that I had attachment problems going into therapy but if that was how he intended to encourage me to change my mind and stay then he was really barking up the wrong tree.

I did have one therapist who encouraged me to contact him via e-mail between sessions. I did not think that I abused it by keeping them few and brief. However, over the course of a month he had changed his mind and no longer wanted my emails. I was sincerely trying to work through some issues but he did not see it that way. Frankly, after experiencing that, I would now only contact a T in an emergency.
