Even the word termination has favorable connotations; it is often use in such negative contexts as an unwanted pregnancy or a poorly performing employee. In contrast, a mutual, planed ending to therapy is a positive, integral part of the therapeutic work that includes review, mourning, and celebration of the commencement of the next phase of life. The ending should be clear and focused-not a petering out. Confronting the ending of therapy is boundary experience, a confrontation with limits. It reminds us of the precious nature of our relationship and the requirement to conclude with a few regrets as possible about work undone, emotions unexpressed, or feeling unstated.
