and now they scattered all over.
Sh*t anyways.
I am such a whiner.
Got not T.
I am Tless.
I wish I could gather my pieces all together and we could live happily ever after....
But its just like family....
Trouble, conflict, misconceptions, hurt....
I am going to my cave.

Can I come visit you in your cave, Muffled? Because I have really, really missed you on here.
I'm sorry the pieces are scattered. Are you sure your T-less? I thought you had a nice chat with her before your vacation. Are you going to follow up?

**yup you can sit in my cave, but no talking in there!
I can come out and talk!
> I'm sorry the pieces are scattered. Are you sure your T-less? I thought you had a nice chat with her before your vacation. Are you going to follow up?*we visited. I faxed her that I'm back. She said b4 I left that when I get back she wants to meet for some 'closure' or some such thing. I think for a variety of reasons that I have done all I can (and its LOTS) with her therapywise. We can still keep in touch ocassionally. She says she has a mentor sort of person she meets with on avg of once a month. So maybe thats what she has in mind? I dunno. But i don't think I can do 'stuff' w/her therapywise cuz, well, not sure EXACTLY why, but I got ideas why, and its OK. I am fortunate in that I do not have to lose all contact.

I'm glad too that you aren't going to have to say goodbye for good. She seems to be someone you can trust.
I know outside concerns can interfere with therapy sometimes. I hope that you're able to take what you've learned from her. And I hope that you're able to accept and listen to all of you, even if sometimes the parts of you that deal best with the world take center stage for practical reasons.

**Yeah, pretty much I guess. I left a phone message that just said I'm back, and sent a fax...and she supposed to be in her office today...haven't heard from her...ARRGGHHHH I AM SUCH AN IDIOT.

Thanks Dinah, always love to hear from you.

I'm glad you get to keep in touch too, Muffly. So -- are you going to look for a new T or go it alone for a while?

My former T told me that termination process is every bit as important as getting to know the client.
Allow yourself to see her again. It will help you get a sense of perspective on how far you've come together.
Remember that therapy is not like a closing door. It's like a door that is always open. It's your choice to walk through it. Somedays it seems more inviting than others. That's natural. Somedays it seems like what's on the other side of the door is just too painful to face. That's okay too.
The most important thing is to take good care of muffled. Your cave is a good step. Try not to isolate too much. That's poison. Reach out and let us support you.
