The goal of the last session isn’t to close the lid on a clean mirror and believe it won’t have any more scratches. When you think about this example you’ll understand how it isn’t realistic.
We think that we’ll be done with therapy and go on perfectly undamaged forever, and we expect that when we start our very first sessions.
Don’t understand this falsely. This is actually more hopeful than believing that we’ll just eventually be out of therapy forever in a great state.

Life has its ongoing impacts on us. So such expectations from ourselves, to remain constant with our insides and health, is so stressing to our minds. Such a big responsibility to carry all days.

The real impact of therapy has always been to help us self therapy from now on. The therapist was here to show you how the remedy is from you and that you are the open book. The therapist skills lies in how she/he knows about the works of the brain, the abstracts and absurdities she could see from afar to tell you about, that you may have not seen in your dark moments. But she’s collecting all this from you, not from outside.

From there you take that skill that the therapist has given you, and start to learn how to heal on your own everyday for the rest of your life, which may include you coming back to them, even if it’s been a long journey with the therapist, the therapist will be there whenever you need someone to remind you to reopen the field of your own remedy, again.
