I had my last regular therapy visit after five years of seeing my p-doc weekly for therapy. I will continue to see him infrequently for meds (like every three months!).
I am so sad, I have been crying all day. He's been like a father to me.
I gave him an African stone carving, a round carving with two abstract figures who seem to be dancing in a circle. I fond a quote from a psychiatry textbook that said therapists must enter a patient's "dance" and I wrote him a card quoting that and thanking him for dancing with me. Later he called me at home because he couldn't find the card and thought I may have taken it with me. Which was touching, that he would want to have the card.
I am so sad. I don't know if I can do this, though it was my idea to have a fixed end-date. I can't stop crying.
