My last session:
I was in control/ very few tears. Unusual for my sessions.
I thanked her for all she had helped me with
I reiterated, again, why I was terminating.
I told her that I could not , and would not , ever understand why I couldn't have had one F'in hug in over 5 years.
I told her I loved her
That I wished the absolute best for her.
Then we stood up and stared at each other, eye to eye, probably about 30 seconds or so.
I could feel that if I had stepped towards her, she would have hugged me.
I did not want a "termination hug". It could have been too much for me. Who knows, but that was NOT the time for our first and only hug.
I repeated, I love you, and walked out.
Good luck, it's hard.
