> Because I had intensive therapy when I was a teenager, I've had the experience of terminating- and of what happens to one's attachment afterwards. After the first very hard months, I found that I was OK, and that the therapist I had had stayed firmly in my mind (heart, really) from then onwards, and was a sort of internal loving mentor as I went to grad school, married and had children. I did return to see him once but our main contact is through Christmas notes. The memory of him never grew dim or disappeared. It's still there, alongside the new therapist. In my imagination, the two therapists agree on important things, and I feel certain they would like one another if they met!
Twinleaf, thank you so much for writing about this! Like Dinah and others on babble, I fear termination. In session, I can't even say the word without getting tearful. It would seem tragic not to care about him any more and for his memory to fade with time. What you wrote has lifted a great weight from my shoulders. I think I will print it out and look at it often. Your words and observations about your experience are so comforting. I can't wait to share this with him at our next meeting :)
Thank you!
Lucie
