That sounds like a great session, pink. So honest and reassuring.

Then (and I was really surprised about this) he told me the reason why he was leaving. He told me that he no longer wants to adhere to the strict psychoanalytic method that the center wants the therapists to do. He said he doesn't want to be a blank screen-- so he needs to go elsewhere. I told him how much I appreciate that he told me that.

It must have been frustrating to have to stick to a particular therapeutic approach just because of the clinic he worked at (kind of like how frustrating when insurance butts into therapy). Now he can use a mixture of approaches and taylor them to what is best for each client. A big win-win for him and his clients! (And you!)

I like the teddy bear charm. Perfect way to stay connected. And comforted.
