As some of you may have read my therapist is going on maternity leave. I've been whining here a lot. Sorry. It's what's been on my mind most of the time since she told me.

Friday is my last session with her. She calls it a temporarily goodbye, but I don't really believe that until she's actually back at work. She can change her mind. She's free for 5 months, so maybe she decides she rather take care of her kids herself for some time.

Last session she asked me what I want to do in our last session. She suggested we could play a game. Or we could eat some pie, because it's some kind of special occation. It's up to me. I'm the one who gets to decide this.

I don't know what I want to do. Most of my sessions were therapy, it should be because it is therapy. But even just a minute of small talk at the start of end of a session is hard for me. Mostly because she's the therapist and I find it hard to talk with a T about anything other than therapy. So this last session could feel uncomfortable for me.

I have terminate a few times. The first time with current T the last sessions would go about what I've learned and what to do when... But that kind of talk isn't in order for now. We have talked about what I should talk about to replacement T, what's important and such.

So this session will be a casual session. Different than our usual sessions. 45 minutes.

I thought about baking a small apple pie and eat a little piece together. And what's left of the pie she could share with her college's?

But other than that I haven't got ideas yet.

Do any of you have experienced something similar? Or have any of you have some ideas?
