I reached a place where I felt like I had worked through my history and had internalized the skills I needed to manage life without needing my therapist to help me process and get through difficult times. We sort of reached that conclusion at about the same time and decided to space out sessions more and just check in every few weeks. After a few sessions at that spacing I really felt completely ready to go it on my own. We left it open-ended, so I had (and still have) the option to go back in as I need to, but I haven't felt that need in a year now and don't predict that I will. I have been able to handle the stressors that have come up, the moments of depression and anxiety, etc. I recognize them early on and am able to proactively handle them so that they just never get to be a serious problem anymore.

It wasn't some huge decision. It was more of a very natural decline in need for his support. No big ending session or anything. Just moved on very easily and naturally.
