i told my ex-T that i was ready to start the 'termination' phase and i spent a few session addressing an unresolved issue that was never properly addressed from over a year prior that i wanted to discuss. once i felt satisfied that the issue had been talked about enough and acknowledged by him (even got an apology for his mess up), i went to my session and told ex-T that this would be the last session i would be paying for. he was surprised and voiced his opinion that there was still 'so much more to talk about and address'. i told him i was happy to come to as many sessions as he liked to discuss those things he found so important to address, but that this was the last session that i would be paying for.

and you know what?? those issues must not have been that important to address after all because he didn't offer to do any 'pro-bono' sessions with me.
