I had a good session today but once I got home, I got really sad thinking about how I probably only have until the end of May to be with my T. I'm graduating from grad school and I'll probably move back to my home state after so I won't be able to see my T anymore.
I kind of want to briefly talk with her about what the end will look like even though it is months away. I have a hard time believing she will cut me off completely (no phone calls or contact) once I move but I'm really not sure. I'm hoping she would allow me a phone session or two after I move but it would be helpful for me to know that now, either way, so I can prepare myself mentally. My thought when I got home today was to email her a day or two before my session next week and tell her I want to talk about this. That way she would have some time to think about it if she hasn't already since I don't want her making a decision on-the-spot. I also doubt she will give me a firm answer now but again, it would be nice to get some direction. Do you guys think this is an okay thing to do? |

You should absolutely do this. It's very important to end therapy in a way that feels good for you. Your T probably knows this too. Good luck!

My T and I have been talking about termination since first session. I've only been with her for 9 months, and w/o termination in the near future. After ex-T abandoned me, I want to be as sure as possible that I'll get to experience a proper termination. We also talk about it to make sure I'm aware of the boundaries of the relationship.
Anyways. I think you should definitely talk to your T.

Absolutely do that. I'm sorry you'll have to leave your therapist by May, it must be really painful. Hugs
