It's been almost 8 months since I terminated therapy with my T. After classes started this semester at the university I attend, I am remember the advice that was and is still helpful to me. But then, there are other times in which I remember that there were many reasons why left my T.

She didn't let me take notes when I needed to jot down some important points because she often went at a faster pace than I could handle.
While I was experiencing tremendous stress, fear and anxiety while I was in a support group ran by a social worker that was supervised by my T, she kept telling me to stick it out. However, the T didn't admit that the group was badly ran until I left the group. Shortly after this, the social worker left the counseling center. For me, it was very hard to trust what my T would advice after this incident.
There were times that she was wrong about something, but would insist that she was right. For example, in one of the classes I took two years ago, I met a girl who was easy to get along with and had a very serene personality. But she wouldn't wash her hair for many weeks. Since I didn't want to catch lice from her, I told my T that I didn't want to be friends with this acquaintance. The T told me that she was sure that there was no reason to fear, and that I would not catch lice. So, I asked her if she was sure that wouldn't happen. She said yes, I'd be OK. Looking back now, and remembering what my sister went through when she caught lice from someone at elementary school, I don't feel the T has my best interests in mind.

What do you all think? Did I terminate therapy too soon?
