This rich and reflective webinar explores the clinical, emotional, and symbolic importance of ending the therapeutic relationship with intention and care. Too often, terminations are rushed, avoided, or emotionally disconnected, missing a profound opportunity for integration, closure, and transformation. This webinar provides clinicians with practical tools and creative ideas for designing meaningful termination rituals tailored to each client’s developmental stage, cultural context, and therapeutic journey. Drawing from psychodynamic, creative, expressive arts, narrative, and relational perspectives, participants will examine the psychological impact of endings, common client and therapist reactions to termination, and ethical considerations around planned and unplanned closures.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

Explain the psychological and relational significance of the termination phase in the therapeutic process.
Identify common emotional responses to termination and apply strategies to support clients in navigating the ending process.
Describe how to implement personalized termination rituals that foster reflection, integration, and a sense of closure.
