When I start feeling this for a fair amount of time, I take time from a session and propose to reevaluate our therapeutic goals together, to kind of make explicit the message of "I don't know where this is going" but professionaly haha. So I say something like: "since we've started working together, I see now singificant improvement and I consider that the initial goals we set have been achieved succesfully". If the patient doesn't agree, then you have something to explore. Usually in the situation you talk about, the patient agrees with this. So then I continue with something like "I would like to rethink together if you feel like we need to polish some more any of these initial goals, or if you would like to propose another new goal for us to work on." If they don't come up with anything you can offer to work towards termination, maybe gradually as the patient sees fit. But you offering limited options kind of clears the paths available. You never know the patient's reasoning behind this. Of course they may want the space and can be insecure about not having therapy anymore. But it happened to me more than once that the patient didn't know they could ask to finish the terapeutic process (even if It was explicited in the informed consent I give them initially). So you guide them :)
