I can understand wanting to grab some control over the course your therapy is going to take, given that you'll be forced to terminate relatively soon. And maybe it will feel like you're short circuiting some of the pain.
Heck, I've told my therapist that as soon as he tells me we're terminating, however far in the future, whenever he sets the date, therapy is over and I'm walking out and there will be no termination phase because he's already quit being my therapist.
So I understand completely.
On the other hand, I don't think my stance is necessarily the one I'd advise anyone else to take.
Are you sure this is something that you really want to do?
