Hi Shortelise, i actually think i will need therapy in america to help me deal with the termination of this therapy relationship. it's so excruciatingly painful for me. our last session is tomorrow. i can't even imagine it. except that i know we'll be talking on the phone. so she'll still be there for me. always, if i need. but she says we will need a "cooling down" period, at which point i might only call her once a month (which i can't even begin to fathom right now), but that we will do it at a slow pace that is right for me. but in general, she said she will always be in my life for me to talk to.
i do not know if i am going to be moving back to israel in the future or not. i will definitely be visiting once or twice a year, perhaps in the summer for over a month. i know i will see her again. but it feels like it will be less close. how do you stay close to your therapist after you terminate? i like her so much, i want to stay close to her.
it's just so painful. i can't believe i am going thru this.
