In reply to How would you react to termination **trigger**, posted by pinkeye on June 28, 2005, at 14:50:35
I think your response is normal and that you're actually coping well! It just makes it all the more important for T's to realize how critical it is that they terminate with kindness and compassion and respect for the client.
I'd be p***ed off if my T terminated me in the fashion yours did! I'd be mad, and also sad, and probably also would feel very insecure and unloved and unworthy. And then I'd be even more mad at feeling those feelings. It would NOT be good.
I'm so sorry you're having to go thru this. Your T made huge mistakes in the way he terminated. Therapy is supposed to help you live after it is over...not force you to agonize over the ending! He really did not do a good job with the termination - it's clear.
take care,
