Which might be good but I just left so angry and shocked. I feel really disoriented. I've slept most of the day. I am kind of fighting a cold but I also feel deeply destabilized. This board is helping me enormously.

Im hoping that it’s just that she’s having her own issues. It just seems odd that someone would just say let’s end this now or work on something. Perhaps to her it doesn’t sound bad almost like giving you an option of what do you want to do. Not everything is based on two extremes as let’s end or continue. Plus those words can be so sensitive to a client. I wouldn’t have taken that well.
When do you see her again? Does she allow contact outside of session just for you to give her an idea of how you’re feelingeither way I and hopefully her giving you peace of mind. Either way I would speak to her and ask her to elaborate when she said that you could end it. It’s better to be straight forward and get the answer than it to be a guessing game for you. I’m glad this forum is helping. It helps me get through as well. Great people Here in this forum to speak to. The therapeutic journey is not an easy one. It’s so involved.
