puzzle_bug1987, I don't really know what to say, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. While therapy is about us the patients, the therapist always plays a role in how we are doing. They're the professional, they're the ones getting paid, they're the ones whose schedule determines when we see them, who tell us how to frame issues and how to interpret things. We rely on their expertise. Of course we are the ones doing the hard work of change but I think they owe us at least to give us a clear reason if they can't see us or need to terminate therapy. Many people go for therapy because they never got closure in their relationships. Who do you go to when can't get closure in your therapy relationship? This is wrong.
