Dear T,

People I trust say 12 sessions a year are not enough. Not enough to work through attachment.

T, I cannot remain in our home country forever. Life is pressing, pushing and I will have to leave in a few years time, lest I die from despair in this country.

T, how can I work through attachment to you without you, in a country half the world away, wholly different culture, with the stress of migration and integration? Where ill løse all my hard won independence and will be forced to depend on Partner because I don't speak Scandinavian, I can't drive because I've always gotten by on public transport in our home country, I can't work because I don't speak the language?

T, I've said that if you allow me to email contact you after termination that it cannot be email therapy. Because then I will no longer be your patient and it won't be ethical for you. How will I work through a premature ending with you?

T...I don't want to seek another therapist. I want you...only you, irrational as that is.
