Hi all,

I don't think I am close to termination yet, however, I cannot help but anticipate how this will go. Like most people, I'm not very good with goodbyes, especially when it involves ending a close relationship. So I assume that when the topic of termination comes up in therapy, I will end up texting my T to cancel any last few sessions to avoid the conversations and feelings that would usually take place during termination sessions.

I've read a lot about why it's important to attend termination sessions, and I get it, but I personally feel it won't make 'too' much of a difference. It sucks, end of. I am, however, still interested to hear any experiences you may have had regarding ending therapy.

It will also be interesting to hear how the topic of termination came up in session for you. I personally may avoid bringing it up unless my T does. What's wrong with seeing a T for a very long time? It's good to have someone always there when you need them to help keep your mental health strong and stable, just as we do doctors?
