We know that not everyone 'freaks the bag' when it comes to thinking about endings but they are always significant. We discuss how ending in therapy should be intentional and planned especially when engaged in deeper work for example in humanistic or psychotherapuetic modalities. And it is eyebrows time for Hannah as Emma discussed the 6 session model she used and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
