Oh I think I have a ways to go but I do not wish to stay in forever. I am on a learning curve right now... but in a bit of pain. I like to think this will not be my life experience and that I will have some peace...I hope.

Thanks... Having it be my decision and having a mutual closure is my fantasy and hopefully will be my reality. I know the closure within therapy takes some time and then outside it keeps happening.

I have had one therapist retire and then die. I know that both of those events required mourning.. But I went from one to the next basically or even with a small break I knew that I would be seeing the second one as I was not ready to quit.
