Not embarrassing at all! In fact, I tend to think being furious with him might not be such a bad thing.

Really, there is no requirement that the person dumped needs to be pleasant about the dumping. I know that's a relationship term, but therapy *is* a relationship. I imagine you hate him *because* you love him. It's when you cease to hate him and become indifferent that you'll know that your love has died. Or at least that's how it is with me.

Don't feel embarrassed about posting this. It seemed perfectly reasonable to me. (Of course, you'll remember the famous sh*t faced b*st*rd incident with me under similar circumstances.)

It felt to me like part of me had been ripped out when my therapist abandoned me. Even though he didn't want to do it, and even though he felt bad about it. Even a planned and tapered one sided termination feels like abandonment.

It will get better with time. I know that's not a great deal of comfort, but it's something I try to keep in mind when I have kidney stones, or wisdom teeth removed. It hurts when part of your being is ripped out.
