also, i agree with you. i think it was insanely unprofessional to cry about you terminating therapy. yes, therapists also have emotions, but seeing as it's a professional environment AND she is a therapist...well, that was wrong of her. i really do think you should look for someone else. female; male, it doesn't matter. what matters are their methods and ideas, and if they actually help you.

She never actually said she was upset because I was terminating therapy. But here's what happened. I told her back in Feb that I had to quit because at the time the therapy was stagnating and money problems, and when I told her her eyes went red as if she was trying to hold back tears.
The session later in March I said I had to quit and she said she understood because she knew I had money troubles. But then she broke down but quickly pulled it back together. When I asked her she was upset about it, she said no there's something in my eye and then when I pushed about the subject she made up another excuse. But she was shaking and tears came down her face. I'm not stupid, I can tell when someone's trying to cover up crying and when someone's got something in their eye. Now for me this was terrible, because yeah it wasn't ideal but I felt bad for terminating therapy.
This was not good because I did tell her a few sessions before that I did have sexual fantasies about her, but I felt at the time I was dealing with them well and could still move on. Now I feel that I have to see her. I have to see she's okay even really she most likely has forgotten about me and doesn't give a ****. But I promised I'd come back. I'm worried if I don't come back I may have destroyed her psychologically.
I'm resentful as well. I'm nobodies sucker yet I really am a sucker right now. She is a nice a person, but her reaction makes me feel manipulated. So on one hand I want to make sure she's okay on the otherhand I'm angry that she's made me feel this way.
That's because this is typical nice guy behaviour and I'm anything but a nice guy.
