I am glad it worked out to have a last session. I think that in the long run I was able to let go of my last therapist too who I adored, but for crying out loud, the last thing I needed was ECT and to feel traumatized all over again. That is what is was like when I would go down to the recovery room where they did the ECT. I remember most of it and even seeing the machine next to me. That really bothered me.
Anyway, saying goodbye was the right thing to do for both of us. I could never trust my last therapist after he told me a year ago maybe I should look for someone else to see. I should have just done it. No, I told him basically I would do what ever he wanted me to do, and I did, and I got worse, and so I did what he wanted me to do, the ECT. I am so glad I have who I have now, and I hope as time goes on you will feel the same way about your new therapist.
For what it is worth, I sometimes miss my old therapist and would like to tell him how I am doing. I last saw him the first of May 07.
