She did recomend somatic experincing therapy. She also said that if I am find DBT aggresive it is not the right therapy for me.

Your T sounds strong in solid advice and a wrap session is equally a smart move for closure. Often T's need boundaries to keep themselves able and un-muddled in order to assist others. Our stuff is rather toxic to the normal palate (and at times perhaps even to each other). :wideeyed:

I found closure important (down the road) in respecting myself in accepting the T relationship had come to a timely end.

I hope you find your comfort zone (when you are ready) in therapy. Sounds like you are a tigress in your determination for recovery. :hug:'s if you accept them.

I can only imagin her beoming even more ridged,

I found my last therapist to be ridged. Not a good thing. If anything, therapy should be less ridged than the world we find ourselves in, where we become subjected to censoring ourselves with others because they cannot handle our emotions or just navigating a world that doesn't embrace those of us who do not fit the model of the "perfect" person. I hate rigidity.

If the last session is for her benefit, I would say do not give it to her. If it is for your benefit, best of luck. You sound determined to recover and I believe you will be able to do just that. It sounds like you are on the road to finding out what is best for you and that is the road of healing. Best of Luck to You. Rising Sun.

Suggestion... Delay it for 30-90days.

Wrap-up sessions can be anything from a free hour chatting/saying goodbye, reviewing the arc of your treatment, making sure you have systems in place for your recovery, patient eval, etc. or some combo of the above... To a paid 15-50 minute session of any combo of the above. They can be useful. Even necessary. But they're hardly required.

If you don't want to attend another session you are under no moral or legal compulsion to. You are free to stop therapy at any time for any reason. So, since the feeling I'm getting is that you're done / don't want to go back, then I wouldn't. However, leaving the option open to see how I feel in a month or three (go if you like, or not if you don't care to), allows the opportunity, without forcing it.
