For me, 'suddenly' there was a moment that I started thinking about leaving therapy. To leave the nest, so to say. I had learned so much, worked through a lot, gained self worth, and I was happy with myself. I felt like I could handle life without my T.

In short: it's a gut feeling, at least that's how I experienced it. You'll know you're ready when you're ready. The idea of leaving might still scare you a little bit, that's okay. My T told me that lots of clients feel that way. It's part of entering a new phase of life.
