In reply to Termination sucks big time, posted by Happyflower on March 5, 2007, at 17:22:12
I'm glad to see you back, I've missed you Happyflower.
I'm sorry your heart hurts, I think most of us know how that feels all too well. I don't think I could do a tapering session every 3 weeks like you are. I agree with you, it will stir up your feelings when you see him tomorrow. I got an excellent book about a month ago. The title is "Good Goodbyes" It's the best book I've ever read on termination. It goes through every stage of therapy and how you should feel at the end and if you've done the work that needed to be done. I've learned a lot from it.
In therapy we are strengthening our "emotional muscle". It's just like going to the gym to strengthen our quad muscles or something. My "emotional muscle" needed a lot of strengthening cause it's taking me 10 years and I still feel weak at times. Therapy is draining sometimes.
I wish you the very best. You deserve it.
By the way, I'm looking for a place to move to. I've had it with the marriage I'm in. He's having both hips replaced this week, and I'm out of here as soon as possible!!!!!! It's a disaster!
Take care and write when you feel up to it. Stick to this board and I think you'll stay out of trouble. That's what I do?
Hugs
