It was super painful to go through my life history in one-hour capsules but I'm glad I checked out other Ts every time I did -- if only to reinforce whatever decision I knew I needed to make.

I understand what you're saying, and I guess part of me wishes that was an option for me. That I could shop around, finally realize that RoboT is the therapist of my dreams or whatever, and then we get back to business.
It's just not reality for me. RoboT and I are done at the end of December regardless of how I feel about him. And I
know that he's going to view this as me reacting to the looming "retirement". That's what he said when I tried to terminate with him 6 weeks ago. (Way to not take ownership of the way you influenced that action, jerk).
No, at this rate there would be no going back. At this rate we have 12 sessions left, best case scenario.
I know you're trying to be helpful, and I appreciate it. I'm just cranky because I had a dream about him last night and I don't want to think about him anymore.
