I'm not sure what you mean by stirred up. Do you mean you will be upset? She is no longer your therapist so it could be very hard to see her knowing you will never be in therapy with her again. Do you think at some point you will be sad about that and grieve your loss of her? Is that partly what you mean by stirred up--emotions like sadness and longing for the "old days"? Sometimes grief can feel overwhelming, but I'm not sure if you are sad... I have found it really helpful to process grief with my T. Whatever feelings come up, I think talking about them with your new T will help.
