In reply to Bringing up Termination, posted by Augustina on November 6, 2005, at 8:20:39
And so we're going to "work" towards ending my therapy in the next 6months or so. My T seemed a little surprised at my bringing this up to him. He said that this is a goal we can work towards and if the time came and I didn't feel 100% ready to end, then I didn't have to. I liked that he's leaving this open...makes me feel a little less pressure, I guess.
At the same time, I'm starting to prepare for the actual separation and have been thinking a lot of the relationship we've built in the last 2+ years. I think this is something I'd like to talk to him about at our next session b/c I didn't really convey to him how difficult termination will be for me. I think I gave him the impression that I was a bit neutral-feeling about it.
In actuality, my T is one of the most important people in my life right now...but knowing me, I would never tell him that.
