I agree with this. And it might be easier to think of it as "stopping for now." You can figure out later whether it's permanent.
I do understand how it can help to think, "OK, I'm closing this chapter of my life." So that you can move forward. But maybe try to look at it as, "I'm ending this segment (or phase or whatever) of therapy with L."
