I believe that leaving a therapist should be like being ready to drop an old blankie...not because your mom says to, but because you just don't need it anymore. That said, every therapist seems to have his or her own philosophy about endings. I hope and pray my present T has the 'blankie" attitude. However, with my attachment disorder, I would be likely to pre-emptively walk out on T as soon as I know the reduction of sessions is being pushed....teach 'er a lesson. Can't stand for some authority person to enjoy watching me struggle and grieve about giving them up! That's my take on it if it's of any use.
