I really hope you get through this okay, and that your termination is a positive one. Your therapist seems to really care about you, which will make that easier to achieve. I do feel, though, that two months is insufficient. I understand that life can be like that sometimes, but it doesn't seem fair to you when you are so emotionally invested in your relationship with her. It is abrupt, and I'm so sorry it is happening this way.
I agree with others that it is important to express everything you are feeling in your remaining sessions. Get it all out, the anger and the hurt, the disappointment, all of it. Don't keep any of it to yourself. Work through it with her, so you can leave it behind.
I really hope it goes well for you. You deserve that.  |
It is really tough and I am not coping well. I do love her a lot and our relationship has been so good and healing and I have learned a lot from her.
This is very abrupt and I don't think its fair either. I think if I didn't get so emotionally invested then it would be easier. This has taught me some things. I am grateful to at least have two months. I have read many stories of it being much shorter for others. I do have a few sessions left and I am trying to be grateful for that.
My session last week with her I was very angry and said a lot that I needed to. I did express my anger in a respecting, healthy way even though it was hard. I am not keeping anything in. I email her my thoughts and feelings as well. I am trying to make the best of the time we have because I don't want any regrets. I want this ending to be healthy and positive and I want to be able to look back on it and feel as good as I can.
