When the therapist ends therapy

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!
