Bron unpacks saying ‘goodbye’ to clients when the therapist is the one who is ending the relationship. Otherwise known as ‘therapist-led termination’ or ‘unilateral termination’, this is something that all therapists will encounter when they change workplaces, take extended leave, or decide that therapy just isn’t working with a particular client. Bron takes you through ? Ethical considerations in ending therapy ?? How to tell clients that you are ending therapy ?? How to process the ending of therapy with clients once you’ve told them ?? When to start declining referrals and other practicalities ?? Managing your own feelings of sadness, overwhelm, and guilt. Don’t skip this one!
