Acknowledgements

I want to thank The Therapist for being there for me emotionally all the times that he was my counselor.

I want to thank The Therapist and his boss for not suing me. Of course they still might, you never know in this country, but so far they haven’t and I appreciate it.

I want to thank The Therapist and his boss for the times they left my reviews alone. Even if they did it for legal reasons, it made me respect them more.

I want to thank my family and friends who listened to me talk too much about The Therapist for months after it happened and for their support and long suffering when I wasn’t there for them as the best version of myself because I kind of broken and for the times I seemed distant because I was writing another post.

I want to thank the therapists who validated me and who helped me to not blame myself (as much) for how my therapy ended or for how badly I was hurting from it.

I want to thank my readers, even my hate readers. You made me feel listened to which I really needed to feel after feeling like I’d been silenced.

I want to thank therapists who are gentle with clients when they have to end therapy with them.

I want to thank other clients for talking about their experiences online, because I think therapy termination is a subject that gets overlooked too often.

I want to thank The Therapist for reading anything at all that I wrote, because I only started this to replace talking with him. I only ever wanted to talk to him. Any man who can emotionally handle reading what’s written about him by an angry woman, is a badass. Respect.
