I've had several good endings with both therapists and psychiatrists. Outside of health services, I have stayed friends with ex-boyfriends and my ex-husband; even fixed them up with women when I broke up with them. At one point, I became best friends with my ex-husband's ex-wife. Maybe that's a good one to share...

I say this because with your question, I just realized that the only difficult endings have been those who I was intensely attached to, like my T I just ended with and my last long-term bf. Intensely as in constant longings and actual belly pain from being apart, among other things.

For those I was intensely attached with, it was one psychiatrist who I had to quit seeing because of physical relocation. We still keep in touch, so that really wasn't a goodbye, I suppose?
