> You took that well, Pinkeye. I would be destroyed if my therapist told me that. I share that with my son. Both of us would rather not ask if we think we might be told no, because no hurts.
In my case, he asked me to stop writing to him after 3 - 4 months he retired from praciticing. So he was not a therapist to anyone for a long time when he finally asked me to stop as well. I would have perhaps taken it more hard if he was practicing actively and asked me to stop writing. That might have hurt more. But since he was not a therapist to anyone when he finally asked me to stop as well, it didn't hurt that much. It was more than anyone would have done for me - to continue to allow me to write even after he retired from practice - and that was enough for me.
