Me too. It's not necessary or desirable for everyone, but I could never do the trauma therapy I'm doing without some level of reciprocal emotional investment between T and myself.

I wouldn't ghost current T because she's good at her job, genuinely open to feedback, and I care about her. I wouldn't bother having a termination session with a T who didn't meet these criteria, however.
Thanks for this!
