The session I mentioned was back then, my T never said it was specifically to end therapy but when we spoke on the phone she told me she was very hesitant about continuing therapy and that made me so anxious I couldnīt handle a meeting and we ended therapy by phone.
But now, with some perspective, I feel I gave up too easy and I feel this T understood and saw me. Iīm not sure if itīs worth sending her a letter and ask her to start therapy again but at the same time I sometimes feel itīs necessary to ask. I donīt feel she was right about why we should end therapy, she said she felt that she in some way hindered me from speaking freely about things but I never felt that way.
I could really use some more advice on this.

I'm in a similar situation, although there was no "rupture" exactly and I was the one who left in the end. I also wrote an email basically ending and pouring out my heart and received a response of about 4 lines, 7 weeks later. It hurt really badly but in a way it helped me to realize I was mourning a relationship that no longer exists... I think in a way that helps.
I feel your pain because I feel similar in a lot of ways. I hope you get some kind of resolution from your email, whatever form that takes.  |
