Hope-Full, I do believe that any person who works to teach, mentor, care for in an emotional or physical way, appreciates hearing when one of their "students/clients/patients" has grown or gained insight into their journey to develop as a human being. I know that I love seeing my young clients years later as adults, and when one contacts me years later to talk about their lives now and perhaps comment on something that I might have said or done in my work with them that meant something important to them, makes me feel appreciated and proud. Just seeing them or hearing from them, gives me warmth and closure. It doesn't happen often, but it is valuable to me and I know that they get a kick out of that contact too.
I think it's a great thing to discuss with your current therapist and if you decide it is something that will bring you closure and peace of mind, then I say go for it!
