It sucks having to go through this process more than once, and then feel cheated that you didn't get enough time to process all of those emotions that you have been holding onto .... waiting.
Not to stir the pot ... can you extend your sessions by a few more weeks so you have that sense of continuity before leaving?
I'm happy for you that you are even at this place. You have worked so hard to be here. It really should be a celebration ... then why is it filled with grief? (I know the answer). My t calls it a bittersweet ending for both her and the client.
Like I told Lurspie, you'll never regret sharing your kind feelings and your special parting gift with your therapist. But you might regret withholding one or both.
We all come to therapy with different things on our plate. So what we can and can't do varies with each relationship. He knows that. You demostrate such courage in crossing this milestone. Congratulations!! I am proud of you.
