frida,
I'm ok. Not really considering termination yet, but someday I think I will have to face it. I've been seeing my T for 10 years now. So I can relate to every word you wrote about you and your T. You do get really close to a T when you've shared so much and they've become so important in your life. I love my T also, with all my heart. We are very close and we can read each other's mind most the time. That's what lots of hard work can do. I don't know what I'd do without her because my life has had many hardships in it and continues to have major heartbreak. She helps me stay balanced and I need that.
I just thought I'd share about the book in case anyone is interested in it. I am, but only for future reference.
My T told me that even when she retires, which is probably over 10 years from now, that I can call her if I need to and just check in and she'd arrange for a meeting if I needed too. And she has assured me that if I do terminate and have a need to see her, she'll be available for me. That is so comforting to me. In the beginning she would tell me that once our therapy ended, that would be it.....no more communication. She has since changed her tune. I'm glad for that.LadyBug
