Seven or eight sessions does seem abrupt. I know I would need close to a year to say "good-bye" (again) to my therapist. And she reminds me that she'll give me all the time I need, that it's a process, and it will go in stages, that overlap, and regress, and move forward.
Yes, it did feel good when she said, "I'm excited to see you again." (or something close to that). It's interesting though, the few times I have tried to bring up our abrupt ending before I came back, I feel resistance on her part to talk about it. I'm the one who left in anger. She didn't push me away. And yet, when I bring up the subject, I feel a wall.
I'll be thinking about you on Thursday. I hope you won't be disappointed. I hope it doesn't open up a bigger hurt than the one you are already feeling. That is my worry.
