I never really felt much of a connection with this guy, despite sticking it out for over a year with him. Hes very insistent that I take almost 3 hours out of my day to do in person visits and has threatened to charge me as a cancelation if I still demanded virtual, I haven't felt the ability to be honest with him about larger issues than what I discuss, and frankly I would get nervous to talk to him before a lot of sessions. I had a therapist before that I connected with better, but that was 3 years ago almost and I had to stop when I lost my last job.

Im already in the process of getting back with my past therapist, who seemed much warmer to me. When I had to stop seeing her, i cried, whereas with this guy, I'm nervous he'll try to talk me out of dropping him.

On the bus to go do it now, send me your good vibes pls

Fuck that guy, obviously you made the correct choice dropping him if this was how he was going to react, total clown.

100% vindicated in my decision. Calming down now and playing some Mario about it.

I bet Mario would be a good therapist. He at least seems to have it really together himself.

Comrade Mario, please teach me how to triple jump over my problems

Just a matter of forward momentum, timing, and taking the leap enough times in a row.

Dr. Mario is not a real doctor

Good and rest well knowing you made the right choice.
