My T1 moved to another state. He told me he was leaving about 2 weeks after I'd disclosed something really big and old, which I had really hesitated to share. We had a couple of months after he told me to wind things up, but it still felt just awful. I cried every time we talked about him leaving.

Before he left, he made sure I had a good list of referrals and he wanted me to get established with someone before our last session. I did, but decided after he left that she wasn't right for me and moved on to another referral of his.

Our last session was actually pretty wonderful. We reviewed the progress I'd made and the things I'd taken to heart. We talked about how we felt about each other and how the termination felt (we both agreed it sucked and he jokingly suggested I move to his new state). We thanked each other for all we appreciated about the other.

Then we hugged for a really long time and it was over. I cried all the way home and off and on for weeks.
