Reply to "Has your T promised never to terminate?"

I had a small rupture with T1 over the weekend and skipped my therapy yesterday and today. She texted me tonight,

T1: "Do you want to talk tomorrow at 1pm?"

me: I am scared to. I'm worried you are going to terminate my therapy when we talk.

T1: I won't. I promise. I'm not punitive.

me: Ok. I don't totally believe you, but ok we can talk tomorrow.

T1: I wouldn't do that to you.

me: That's what people say right before they do the one thing they promised never to do.

T1: I hope that someday, you will believe me. I will never terminate your therapy and I will never give up on you.



So, I guess time will tell if she is telling the truth. She hasn't terminated my therapy so far in all of the years I've worked with her. But I fear that someday, those words will only come to haunt me.
