I think she WILL agree to telephone support. But, you know as well as I do that it's not the same.

Above all else, a physical separation does not equal a spiritual one. Once connected that attachment persists and can feel good. It can remain despite distance.
One of the things I did, that I am most comfortable and at ease with (and actually made things a little easier for me) was to tell my therapist how I felt. I held nothing back.
It will be a time of mutual sadness and change. Our leaving affects our therapists too.
The door will always be open for you to return for a visit, or a session, or a call.

Luckily I have 2 close friends who DO understand how separation from a therapist can be heartrending.
My T DOES know about my attachment. She's experienced me reading poems to her about it. I'm very upfront.
Yes, I will be grateful I had the experience of the support that my T has given me all these months and our relationship does transcend space and time.
And I hope to return for an occasional session but what will that be like if she hasn't been kept up to date on my emotional life? Would it feel awkward and unnatural?
