How Can I "Break-Up" With My New Therapist?

I Started Seeing This New Therapist Because My Old One Moved Out Of State. It's Been Pretty Hard For Me To Open Up To Her But I Gave Her A Chance Anyways And When Finally I Was Opening Up And Trusting Her With My Deepest Thoughts And Fears (Thing I Don't Do Easily...) She Said Something That Really Crushed My Dreams. The Thing I Look Forward To In A Future; To Start A Family... That Was A Deal Breaker For Me And I've Decided To Move On To Another Therapist But I Don't Know Whether I Should "Break-Up" With My Therapist First And Get Another One Or Get Another One First And "Break-Up" With My Therapist Later... I've Only Been Seeing Her For 2 And A Half Months... What Can I Do?

    Just stop going. You don't need to give her any explanations. Find someone else.

    There are not easy answers to that one. Each therapist is unique as they are each individuals, like yourself. As I do not wish to know your reasons for seeking help via therapy, the answer is limited. In this "relationship" you are the employer and the therapist is the employee. Call up the office, cancel your next appointment. Talk to a lawyer and subpoena a copy of the session transcripts to you. That will help your new provider.

    If you're not court ordered to see them, FIRE them. Its easy. I did it to a few CPs and LCSWs in my time. Don't bend to them, you are still the boss of your life.
