Lost, I don't even have abandonment issues, but I totally get not wanting to hear any talk about the "end". It's one thing to know it intellectually. It's quite another to hear it, however casually.

But you must always keep talking to yourself when you have such intense emotions. Do you really think the "end" is near for you? Do you really think he's thinking, "You know what? Lost has got her act together. She doesn't need therapy anymore. Time to start talking about termination."

Of course he's not thinking this. He knows you still need lots of work and support.

I think you should try to find some type of activity to engross yourself in right after therapy. Something that requires every ounce of brain juice and you can't back out of easily. Being sent into such a spiral after every session is counter-productive.
