After 10 months, today was my last session with my T. She said she really liked the plant I gave her. She hugged me at the end of the session and I cried. I'm the one that terminated therapy, so why do I feel so sad?
I may be posting more in the future for the support. Wish I could turn to my husband, but he only wants to hear that everything's wonderful all the time.

I would feel sad too. A loss is a loss, no matter who terminated the relationship. Do you feel you got all you wanted out of the experience?
My husband is usually supportive, but sometimes, I just don't think they (husbands) know how to respond to someone elses pain. I think he is on the upswing of the learning curve. And it's a big curve, so we have a long road ahead.
Congratulations.

Congratulations on feeling better. But I bet it is sort of like leaving anything that has been meaningful -- you are glad to move on yet will miss what is left behind. Life is about changes, so I hear.
Post often, you will find lots of support here.
Take good care,
Daisy

I'm glad she liked the plant, and that she hugged you.
I think it's always sad to come to the end of a relationship, whatever the circumstances. I terminated after six months and was terribly sad for a little while. But it does get better.

Do post as often as you want to. We at babble know that things are not wonderful all the time!
