Have you read "get me out of here" by Rachel Reiland? It's about her Borderline Personality treatment and includes the termination with her beloved father-like T. In January of the year she terminated, they decided tothether that by the end of summer she would choose a termination date. It was of course sad, but she also felt strong and ready. Her last several sessions were exceptionally warm and a time to look back at what they had accomplished, their feelings for one another. It was melancholy but beatiful too.
I am just getting started and can't envision the ending yet. I am sure it will be sad and I hope it will also include a time of reflection, a celebration of growth, and a sharing of feelings.
