Therapist-patient: I commend you for seeking Therapy when you needed it for the stresses in the journey of your life. During the period of intense emotional turmoil, and due to lack of support from family and friends, one can become dependent on the Therapist. Please do not feel shame about it. Feel good about reflection of improvement now and stopping treatment.
