Therapist considering discharging me
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 12 hours ago | Replies (17)Comment receiving replies
Different clinics and therapists have different protocols. I have been with this therapists for several years. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the possibility of being discharged. It may be the clinic's need to have more therapists ready to treat people. The supervisors haven't made a decision yet. I don't know their criteria and will have another session with my therapist. I have grown a lot in the past few years. My therapist has given me some suggestions about what to do next.
"Talking" to you has helped a lot. I'm glad you have a good therapist.

@junkartist You're right, clinics may have different protocols! Perhaps the overseers for your therapist looked at the criteria you had entering treatment, and feel you have progressed enough to be "on your own". But in my humble experience, that should be a decision between your therapist and yourself. I hope that if you do not feel ready, and your therapist agrees with you, she will fight to keep you on board. Sometimes, extending sessions out, like every month instead of every two weeks, almost a tapering but not quitting, can work well.
