Okay, long preamble to say that when I asked him if it would bug him if I chose the marriage counselor as a therapist over him, or liked the other therapist better, my T said, "Oh God, yes. I'd really miss you." 
I know it wouldn't devastate him and he'd go on with his life, though. |
That's a nice thing for your T to have said. I don't imagine my T would miss me if I left. On my (frequent) self-doubting days, I tell myself that she'd say good riddance to me going. On my (much, much less frequent) more reasonable days, I still don't think she'd miss me, but she might wonder once or twice about where my life was taking me.
