Maybe it wouldn't be a "trick", sunny? Maybe what you are describing is just what you need....to know T is there, to feel that warmth and love in your life, and to know that he is available to call whenever you need him.

I've thought about this a lot. I don't know if I will ever really "terminate" therapy either, but I can see a time when I go for long periods of time without seeing T. I want him to always be there, one way or another. I think there are a lot of ways to "do" therapy, and that we are allowed to find the way that provides us the comfort and connection that we need.

I can see why your session would feel bittersweet.... it's a big deal to have a such special connection with T.
