In reply to Leaving is so hard to do!, posted by daisym on October 24, 2004, at 1:16:18
I've been having a relatively easy time with leaving sessions since my pdoc returned from vacation, but before that it was usually difficult and that was also the case this past Friday. To make matters worse, my pdoc often doesn't pay too much attention to the clock, so endings are sometimes more abrupt than I like. "Your watch says it's three fifty. You're kidding me!"
This week's session was awful because we talked so much about how it seems that the only really safe support I have offline is therapy, and that will certainly be ending when I turn 18, but possibly in January. The perfect timing for my pdoc to have to tell me that for the next month we will only be meeting once every other week. I've been given explicit permission to call during the off weeks if I need to, but given his tendency to be really hard to reach on the phone, I'm not sure that helps... It's a lot easier to leave when I'm not feeling so insecure, which was the case for a short while.
