Just sent an email to me T saying that I think it is time to end therapy. It has been coming for awhile. I have learned a whole lot, gotten down to the bottom of my issues. T has given me all the necessary tools, and tried to reframe my negative thoughts. The problem is me. I am just not ready to fix everything. So, I would be going back week after week to hear what I should change, knowing full well that I am just not going to do it right now.

I am not sure how T does things.. I am assuming that he will want to see me at least once more to close things up. I had to do it through email, b/c I know once I get into session, I would probably not do it. If not though, I am fine with yesterday being my last session. Didn't think the end would come this soon.

From someone who has gone, quit, gone to another, took a break, going back,etc...

My advice is to talk about it for atleast a few weeks then go every other week... Then go monthly...then a every 3 week thing....it doesnt have to be all or nothing..

What have you been talking about in session last couple of weeks? Or avoiding? Are questions that come to my mind...

I hope it goes well for you Healed.
I myself am a cold turkey, no going back for final appointment quitter. I have not regretted the way I have quit in the past. I also never thought that just because I quit at one point, that would mean I could not go back at another.So just because you stop now, does not mean you can't go back in a month or 6 months or a year etc.

Im with Ready, just take a break and see how you feel. I think at least a farewell session should be in order to Healed. I am in between T's and I can see old patterns and thoughts emerging... so I know Ill go back and find a new T soon. Sometimes when you jump off the merry go round and allow yourself to feel grounded again, you realize that your ready for another ride on the T express. Perhaps this will change your perspective with a little time off. ((((Healed))))

As someone who was abruptly terminated against my will I would urge you to at least have one more session with him to wrap things up.

That sort of happened with my Group Therapy (although I sort of wanted it to end since I thought that the other person in the group was too depressing for me).
