Therapy Endings

Ending a therapy relationship can be a complex process, as Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir discuss. They emphasize the importance of having a healthy conclusion to therapy, rather than abruptly ending it through a text message. This approach allows for a meaningful closure, which can be emotionally beneficial.

The process of ending a good therapy treatment can be healing and help with all the trauma we inevitably go through around endings in life.

Group Therapy

Group therapy emerges as a recommended option for those seeking a different therapeutic experience.

Despite initial apprehensions, it is suggested as a beneficial path for personal growth.

People really love group therapy, so I'm going to throw that out there.
