I've never been a fan of "cutting people off." Truthfully, I've always avoided it unless absolutely necessary and appropriately deserved. I've always felt a bit sadder than normal at graduations and at certain "ends and shifts." I know I am sensitive, adding sentiment to life is my specialty.
This post is about the end of my therapy. 1.5 years, which does not feel long enough, but it was mutually agreed we would wind down. I got through so much with her, including one of my biggest life traumas. Her specialty, which was one reason for me reaching out to her, is in emotional freedom technique tapping. I encountered tapping through my own mental health healing journey and would mostly watch prompted videos, when I started looking on Open Path and saw her profile list the method I was interested in reached out. I credit therapy and tapping to transforming my life, I've gone from a very stuck place in life to a much better place. Of course it is not perfect, but I am lightyears away from where I was.
Which all to say, that it is incredibly hard to move on from therapy, my safety net. My best friend said it best, "Well now you have tools and are a stronger person, so it was time to let go." Could not have said it better myself, but I'm still feeling the severance. Severance, which is dramatic because my therapist has said if needed I can reach out. Without a doubt, she's been amazing, and it IS indeed time to let go. I'm just not good at it, and it's okay to not be good at everything.
with love and kindness and a little too much emotion,
Priscy
