If you walk or storm out of a therapy session with a T you have been in therapy with for a year, what expectations do you have of the therapist in making contact with you? I stormed out of a therapy session the last time I saw the "replacement" my retiring therapist had hand picked. The replacement was always talking about her crisis and very much in denial about it. When I stormed out, she never contacted me. I had stormed out of therapy a few times with my old T and she always got in touch. I finally contacted the "replacement" and told her i wouldn't be coming back and she said in her reply email "i didn't contact you because i was pretty sure you didn't want me to". is that valid? or is that a way of saying "i couldn't care less".

Since you only saw her once I guess that I'd assume the same thing. But now I'm not in theraphy anymore gave up cause too many failures. Phillipa

My therapist says he's not supposed to. Even after all this time, he won't chase after me (figuratively or literally) if I leave.
I of course wish he would.
I accept (most of the time anyway) that if I'm furious with him I need to stay and tell him so. In enormous detail. It's irritating, but that's the way it is.
This is the end of the thread.
