Therapist Wants To Terminate Me As A Patient?

[Chosen]

I'd love to be able to "walk and talk" on a nature path. That sounds awesome! Hope it goes well, and please let us know since I'd love to hear how it goes!

Proud of you, and glad you have a good T!

It sounds like you've both done some excellent work and have a really good therapeutic relationship - I'm interested to her how you get on trail walking and doing therapy, well done having the courage to ask him what's going on and for being able to go back to a place that's clearly difficult for you.

Yes I don't know why I ('we'?) seem to interpret it those ways for ourselves. I mean, why is it so 'clear'? (But yet not founded, at these such times?) :( Like @BloomInWinter said in post #8, I think. I guess that's where trust & everything gets all jumbled up.

But good for you @desiderata310 though. You've just made it through some amazingly difficult things, awesome progress. :tup:

I think being able to move or walk or alter the sounds etc in the surroundings, or find more quiet etc will all be helpful. Nature helps me. (Unless there are mosquitos or wasps! :eek: :) :hug: )

(Oops sorry, meant Bloom's post #2. Number 8 is right too though. :) )

@desiderata310, firstly you deserve huge kudos for staying with this and talking through the issue with your therapist. I would think he'd be thrilled to have you as a patient after that. : )

And, more, I really think you found a good one with this therapist! He's genuinely empathetic and a creative problem-solver.

This reminded me of my totally-unconventional-but-brillant therapist who I worked with for twelve years. We used to take walks around the block outside of the hospital together. I wouldn't be surprised if she had some therapeutic purpose for that, but we were quite far along by then and she said that she didn't like the new office they assigned her. But I bet she had something else in mind *for me*. I love good therapists. They are our angels.

Yes I have a friend who has pointed out things I don't see. They are so simple, but hugely helpful/ stress- reducing.

I think the walking gives adrenaline some place to go. And nature can provide beautiful surprises. Two lovebirds were sitting on my fence yesterday. :) And a butterfly landed on me, it was a different connotation to follow the startle response. :)

Yes good kind people are angels.

:hug:
