Similar to life, I think it’s often easier to keep things the same rather than make a change.

Leaving therapy can be particularly painful. I balk at those who pass judgment that quitting therapy is just taking the easy way out or avoidant. This board is packed with stories that say otherwise. I can speak from experience that my termination was more painful than most of what brought me to therapy.

I’ll phrase this in a way that won’t strike so many nerves, but again as with life, I think we constantly need to be aware of our relationships, evaluate if it’s what we need, and if not find the courage to make a change... be it another therapist or going at it alone.
