Personal Perspective: My termination with one provider was planned and productive. Another was not.
When I terminated therapy with my former psychiatrist, Dr. Lev, I gave myself a year. At that point, at the end of 2015, we’d been working together for 10 years, with two sessions a week. I believe when I told her I wanted to spend 2016 terminating, we reduced our sessions to once a week, so I could gradually become less dependent on her. Our last session, right before Christmas Day, went too fast.
I sought out Cathy, a provider who was covered by insurance, and saw her for about two months. The therapy was not helpful. I think it was a combination of several things: I did not know what I wanted beyond support around my medical issues and depression, Cathy kept telling me I wasand had overcome so much in life, which I didn’t find helpful, and also — and I didn’t think about this until I was already into therapy with her — for me, no one could measure up to Dr. Lev.
I don’t know if I will try someone else. I need to, but I’m wary. I intend to take a break, but for how long, I don’t know. As I’ve always maintained, I need to be proactive about my mental health due to its severity and its propensity to spiral so quickly.As the lines between real and fake blur, Americans increasingly chase the idea of authenticity. The first step may be to consider self-knowledge, truthfulness, and other building blocks on the road to personal growth.
