Not termination, per se, but I quit therapy in August. My therapist wouldn't hug me, and as I was left feeling unlovable and unlikeable I didn't see how I could make progress with him anymore. I knew if I stayed it was out of habit and attachment and not to actually help with my problems.
Five days after I quit I decided I wanted a last session and called him to ask for one. He told me no and we no longer worked together.
It made me realise I'd made the right decision. I'm glad I was helped by him, but I'm also glad I followed my instincts that this guy was way too rigid and not a good partner for dealing with the deepest stuff.
But I don't see the point in returning to any therapy, really.
