Ignoring your therapist's emails after ending sessions is not considered a healthy or constructive way to handle the situation. Therapists are bound by professional ethics to respect the boundaries and autonomy of their clients. If you've decided to end therapy, it's essential to communicate your decision with your therapist openly and honestly.
Ignoring emails can leave your therapist wondering about your well-being and may create unnecessary stress for both parties. It's better to have a clear and respectful conversation about the reasons for ending therapy. This can help provide closure and allow your therapist to offer appropriate recommendations or referrals if needed.
If you feel uncomfortable discussing it directly or have concerns about potential confrontation, you can also communicate your decision through a brief email expressing your gratitude for their help and explaining that you are no longer seeking therapy at this time. Most therapists will understand and respect your decision.
Remember that therapy is about establishing a safe and supportive space for growth and healing. Being honest and respectful with your therapist can help you both navigate the ending of the therapeutic relationship in a healthy and compassionate way.
