I think the way to know the answer to this question is..............(please don't throw tomatoes at me ) to talk with your T about this. I had my last session with T almost 3 weeks ago. In that session I asked if he would forget me and he said no, I will not forget you with the most sincere, genuine expression in his eyes. That was a very very healing moment for me(as I was not ready to end therapy with him, long story). I knew I was important to him..........that I had gotten into his heart in some way as he had in mine. So if you can be honest...........I would ask them, especially if you are feeling very attached and you have a good rapport and bond.
