In reply to Termination sucks big time, posted by Happyflower on March 5, 2007, at 17:22:12
I think leaving someone important to us is hard and there is no easy answer. I thought about a meeting I had with my daughter's therapist last week. She feels it's time for my daughter to terminate and I found her approach interesting. She told me that she doesn't believe in gradually reducing sessions - that when the work is complete, it's time. Having said that, she understands that from time to time we all need extra support and my daughter can call her to schedule another appointment or two if necessary. But for now, they will work towards a date and then it's over.
Maybe seeing him so seldom is actually harder than just letting go all at once --- as cute as he is.
It's good to see you back. I missed your posts. I am sorry that you are feeling so sad right now.
