In reply to Therapists who terminate - a question, posted by Penny on November 21, 2003, at 15:13:54
It is very disturbing when a therapist can't handle feelings of transference/counter-transference. You aren't necessarily dumped because you are a borderline (I'm not) or any other reason than the therapist is a person who has their own limits as well. They have their own history, their own baggage - you can only hope the person you're working with has had enough years of therapy themselves to know what's what and whose who's. It has been pointed out to me that even though this therapist still *cares*, it doesn't negate the fact she's gone. I guess, after all I've been through, I just keep in my mind - yes - someone terminating you is always a possibliity, albeit a terrible one - but hopefully another door will open in its place.
