I had the first appt, hour long, with my new pdoc last week. She will mostly be doing 15 min med checks, but she was pretty thorough while gathering info.

One of the questions she asked me is whether I "ever actually completed a full course of therapy".

It hit me out of the blue. No therapist had ever let on that there was a set "flow" or "course" that we would be going through together. All my T's always just prompted me to talk, nodded their heads, asked questions about how I "felt while talking", et cetera, until I basically just bored us both to death and we agreed to stop treatment.

Of course, talking about how my coping skills got me through the week got me nowhere. I am mainly just exhausted all the time from pretending to be fine with everything.

I thought "termination" was just a fancy phrase for agreeing not to see each other anymore.

Are there really supposed to be set goals and objectives? And were the T's supposed to let me know this?!?! If I actually "accomplished something", it would be nice to know. Self-esteem boosting if nothing else!

I feel cheated....
