I've been in long term therapy with the same psychologist since 1998. Last year when I was flat broke, she even agreed to see me, and let me run a tab, to be paid when I get a job.

But I'm now getting a lot of free councilling through my rehab and through another hospital's trauma program, so I feel like seeing her on top of everything would be too much, plus I really don't want to rack up any more debt.

So I let her know I wanted to stop seeing her about 3 months ago. She said she understood, but we agreed we'd have one last appointment to wrap things up, and for her to give me an invoice of what I owe her. But the thing is, her schedule and my schedule have been so much in conflict that I'm only getting into see her on Tues. of next week.

I haven't seen her all that often in the past year as she travels a lot doing training lecturing, and being an expert witness, so I kind of feel like I've already detached and moved on.

I'm not upset about terminating, it just feels like the logical next step in the process, but I wonder if I'm just supressing my feelings or if I really am ok with this.

I guess the grief comes later.
