A while back there seemed to be a lot of posts about sexual feelings towards therapists. Then there seemed to be a period where there were a lot of therapists who were operating on the fringe or beyond of professional ethics. Right now there seems to be a lot of pain at separation.
I think that's a really difficult topic for me, as I really and truly have no intention of ever quitting therapy. It's not that I'm as dependent on my therapist as I used to be. I'm not. It's not that I think about him constantly. I don't. But I think he serves a very valuable role in my life that is otherwise missing and that someone like me needs.
So talk of termination scares me sometimes, and sometimes I don't reply empathetically and sometimes I don't reply at all.
I just wanted to apologize for any empathetic lapses on my part, particularly on this topic.
