Is anyone having a difficult time terminating therapy? I started a social group to discuss termination issues such as how to terminate, how to deal with the loss of your T, pros and cons of T having an "open door policy" after termination, etc. Or, just to share your story or give advice to others ending their therapy or having problems adjusting to ending therapy for whatever reason.

I believe therapy should NEVER end until ALL issues have been dealt with.

Now you may have to go to another therapist who can offer different or additional information, as all only know so much.

But it's worth it to STAY in even just to keep a base line

One T told me that we have issues until we die, Starlite! I can't afford it, for one thing. I also believe that we learn a lot when we are OUT of therapy; it's a chance to practice what we've learned. I do appreciate your input, though. Maybe you want to pop into the social group?

Is this group still active? It would be a godsend to me.

I have been in therapy for 3 yrs.We have discussed alot of things but it seems to be different each time I go. I still haven't fully worked on my issues that sent me into therapy. Therapist says I am unwilling to bring up all the anger and pain from a miserable childhood. I really do believe I have learned alot about myself over the years. I also spend alot of time out of therapy thinking about things. I have abeen journaling all along. It is very intresting to go back and see how sick I was. I really do believe I have made alot of progress. I wonder if I'll ever get to the anger, hurt and pain of it all. I am very comfortable with my therapist and trust him. The thought of stopping therapy at this time is really scary. I don't know if I can ever do it. I will miss him terribly when I do. I know I caan go back for a tune up once in awhile but he is getting up there in years and may not be here if I need help. I am starting to feel that we have worked on alot of issues with some still left to go. sometimes I feel I will never be healthier, sometimes I do. client

Yeah therapy should not end until you are better.
