>> After I quit therapy, I did go back, 15 years later, to the same T. Kind of weird, hun? But, I am getting so much more out it this time. My point, maybe in a year or two, you can find a new T to finish the work you already began. Good Luck. Let us know if she responds to your e-mail.
Wow, that's great that you were able to go back and have a better experience. If I do attempt therapy again --not planning to ever, but, who knows what'll happen down the road--it'll be a very long time from now.
As for her responding, no she hasn't. I think she feels ethically that she can't respond to me again since I made it clear I want to end it. I'll probably receive a typed letter in the mail from her, with a list of referals, and she may or may not try to keep it open for me to go back to her (she did once before when I quit with her, and I did go back, but this time feels different). I just wish I knew what she felt when she received my email: is she sad? Does she see that she was at fault in some ways? Is she relieved?
Thank you for your thoughts, they are appreciated.
