Should you give notice when leaving /stopping therapy?

I did tell my therapist when I would stop seeing them when I was with them in a session. They had upset me. I wasn't rash or quick tempered, when I said I could no longer see her, I recognized how she wasn't helping me. It was helpful for me to be that forthcoming with her. They are there to help you, if they are not helping you, I feel it's better to express when with them instead of hiding behind courtesy

Honestly..... it is not an airport, so there is really no need to announce your departure.

But, as a courtesy... I would just say "I'll call you after I check my schedule" when they try to book a follow-on appointment.

Yes it is a courtesy. You can let the therapist know that this will be the last meeting at the end of the session and state your reason. I think that's sufficient.

It's your money, so you are in charge.

I almost thought of switching primary care physicians because I felt like I just annoyed her.

But she has been good with the drugs, and my sugars and blood pressure are down. If it were not for her recommendations and urging I would not have done anything. I almost want to do things just to stop her nagging, lol!

Yet she is my doctor, not my friend or cheerleader. She has to tell it to me straight. I need that. I am stubborn and slow to change my habits, and she has been right so far. Several "I told you so's." Actually, she never said it, rather, I said, "Sorry for not taking care of it before, you were right, I should have " She then would say, more or less, better late than never. Now I am quicker to obey her recommendations, due to their success.

If it were not for nagging doctors, nurses, and parents, I might be dead now. Or disabled. The jury is still out, though.

I see my doctor so often now the receptionist does not even ask my name anymore, LOL!

I wouldn't go in the 1st place.

I come here for therapy. Here is free

You should give some notice, either of those methods would work

Yes it would be the proper thing to do.
