Hi Cantfindthewords,

I recommend taking a break from therapy like Stopdog suggested - see how it goes. There is no shame in returning if need be. It is also a nice feeling when you have control of when therapy begins and ends; unfortunately not all of us have that choice and are abandoned brutally without warning.

In making that transition, definitely make plans with your therapist about finding replacement support networks if you don't already have them.

I personally found the best therapy was when ending therapy was my choice. Premature endings to therapy feels disastrous and can leave us feeling abandoned and alone and unable to continue the healing process. Starting with a new therapist sucks, especially when it is a referral and when we have complex traumas that take lengthy periods of time to build safety, repoire and trust within the therapeutic alliance.

Thanks,
