I think they need to get a definite "this is my choice: to end" from us. At my last session, which was impromptu, if anything after 15 years can be that, my t made a point of asking me multiple times if stopping was what i wanted to do.

Given what youve written here in the past, i can see why he would be reluctant to stop. Saying that you like talking to him sounds simple, almost trivial, but it is not. I was SO DONE talking to my t, which surprises me now to acknowledge that. Not mad, just DONE.

I would really advise you to find another t. I clung to my penultimate t and never got what i needed. My last t delivered. Leap and the net will appear.
