Yes, I finished up therapy about a decade ago. Loved my therapist, but I just really didn't need him anymore.
It helped that I had gotten more involved in activities that got me out and around other people with regularity, so I certainly wasn't relying on my therapist for social support.
We had a plan to just decrease sessions and stop when it felt right. What I discovered is that I really didn't need to "wean" off of therapy, and honestly, I just cancelled my last appointment and never went back. We didn't have some big closure session or anything; it really wasn't necessary. He knew why I stopped. I was ready.
