Ah, Mair. I know those feelings of seeing things so clearly. I wish mine were always right. :) Or maybe I'm glad they aren't. Which is not to say that your feelings aren't completely accurate. But maybe you *were* seeing things clearly, but not in the only way they can be seen? Maybe your therapist sees them very clearly in a completely different direction.
At any rate, it doesn't seem to me to be one of those very few incidences where the only decision lies with terminating without further ado. Although I'm a fine one to speak, having terminated a half dozen times for very little reason at all.
Unless you're utterly positive of your decision, maybe you could call her Monday (or better yet, tomorrow - which I'm sure would absolutely delight her given your overall reluctance to call and her expressed desire that you would) and suggest that you talk about your letter at your next session, or sooner if you need to.
Therapy is a very odd endeavor, isn't it? My therapist is in pure support mode right now, and sometimes it's just what I need and I adore him for it, and sometimes it makes me feel upset that he doesn't think I can handle anything else. Then I remind myself I have proven that I can't handle anything else while I'm under stress. And my thoughts of therapy hurtle willy-nilly all over the place. Which I rather suspect they're doing now so I'll say goodnight.
And you know where to find me if you need me.
