You could send her a note afterwoods e planning if you wished. Your plan sounds like it puts you in control, which I think is a good thing, therapy can leave us a bit powerless at times I think. When I left T1 I always had the option of going back to do an ending if I wanted, I think that was helpful to me.
Why didn't you do an ending? I think I dread it because of feelings it may bring up and worried I will feel like she's in control. I feel like if I leave on my own, it's not termination or abandonment. It's just me making a decision that it isn't a good fit. I feel like that's a lot healthier. The last thing I said to her was to give me a second chance. I hate that I even said it - I don't act that way outside of therapy. It's like I had lost myself.

I'm worried I'm calm because it really hasn't happened. I guess only time will tell.
