I tend to go with amandalouise. In my experience, she is correct. Also in my experience, if a client actually says to a therapist, "I am thinking about quitting therapy" the therapist may encourage the client to reconsider, and might explore reasons why the client is displeased with the therapy. But if the client says, "I am not interested in doing the work and I want to quit therapy" the therapist will not resist the client's wishes. They might express concerns about whether the client has a support system if they quite therapy, but they will not beg you to stay. Actually, I had a group therapist who did beg a client to stay when the client voiced her plan to quit the group...it was creepy, like the therapist was a cult leader. If a client says she does not want to make changes and wants to leave therapy, a considerate T respects that.
