In reply to My therapist doesn't want to let me go...Help!, posted by shelbyfude on May 25, 2010, at 12:59:37
I've always sort of thought that when I was truly bored and thought longingly of how I might better spend my time or money, that is probably a sign I'm ready to go. If my decision isn't laced with fraught emotions, then it's more likely to not be fear or anger.
Can you tell her you'd like to try it? And ask her if she'd be willing to see you again if you decide she's right and you aren't ready? My therapist has always been honest if he didn't think I was ready (and at the time he was quite right), but after expressing his feelings he let me leave but made sure the door was open should I decide to return.
