In reply to Curiosity About Therapist/Ending Therapy, posted by Rigby on December 14, 2005, at 11:21:17
I've talked about ending my therapy at times with my therapist. She's always told me this; "When we're done telling each other everything there is to tell, we'll be through with therapy." Pretty broad statement, I know. But when everI think about leaving, I think about this statement and I know I'm not done talking with her about the things I struggle with. And I've been seeing her for almost 9 years!! She's told me some people need therapy in order to function in their life. I believe I need her to function the way I want too. I love having her in my mind.....
She said, "when we're done, you'll just know it!" And somehow I believe her.
I know whenever I start to think about termination it clouds up our work together, it's too painful for me to think about. Then she say's I'm not ready for that step.Sorry to write a novel here, I'm sure that wasn't what you were after....
Good luck~
