You might want to work with your therapist in setting goals for what you want to achieve. Then, you could create a timeline to accomplish those goals. It’s also possible that there are other reasons you’re factoring in when contemplating quitting therapy. For example, financial constraints. If this is your case, you might want to discuss with your therapist what other affordable options are available to manage your symptoms while you take a break from therapy. Westbrook suggests lining up alternative support to turn to if needed. “This can be self-help groups, supportive family and friends, or a mentor,” she says. Support groups may also help. Consider the reason why you want to stop therapy Talking with a professional about the challenges you’re facing can be difficult. Therapy can take time, and you may feel that progress isn’t quick enough for you at times. But feeling uncomfortable or even resistant to attending therapy may be part of the therapeutic process. And quitting therapy for these reasons could lead to you missing out on a personal breakthrough. Before you quit therapy for good, first consider tapering visits to fewer times a month. Such a transition can be a good place to start before scheduling your therapy finale. When you do this, it might be surprising to find out that you miss the work you were doing in therapy, or feel like you need that therapeutic relationship, says Brown. “I think that’s why it’s important to talk about what to expect before you just call it quits,” he adds. Brown also notes that part of the goals of psychotherapy is gaining skills to cope on your own once you stop and learning what may signal that it’s time to return. How to know if you need to quit therapy or change therapists “Goodness of fit” is a term some therapists use for the strength of the professional relationship between a client and the therapist, says Brown. Like with any other relationship, not everyone is a good fit. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the person isn’t a good therapist. But, perhaps, you may prefer another psychotherapy approach or may not feel the chemistry. Also, like any other relationship, things can change. What used to work for you might no longer be the case. This is natural. Still, feeling uncomfortable in therapy doesn’t always mean that it’s about you and your therapist. You may want to identify the reasons behind your desire to quit and move on from therapy or this therapist. If you still need therapy but see some red flags that could signal that your health professional isn’t the best option, finding a new one may be the next step. How to know when it’s time to end therapy Devising a plan along with your therapist can be the smoothest way for you to transition out of therapy. You might also want to explore how you feel and your goals from now on. Stopping therapy may be an option if you feel you have achieved all the goals you set and you’ve developed the skills to move on. You’ve learned how to manage your symptoms or have found a way to move through a challenge. Consider switching to a new therapist if: You persistently feel uncomfortable or unsafe with your current therapist.
