That's what I do too. I think about. some ideas come. I think about those ideas. Some seem good, some drop away, and then rinse & repeat until I feel settled. I wonder if this is the process they talk about in Focusing. Sounds like it to me, but I only just started with Focusing. If so, then Gendlin would say that is the process for effective therapy.

I really needed some nice peaceful end sessions with her which would give me closure.

Are you saying that you recognize her problems, but don't want to stop therapy on a bad note. You don't want to leave, and/or leave her, with bad feelings. that would make sense. I left a T with unfinished stuff (she stopped it but I don't think that matters) and it felt awful. Is that it?

Asiablue, you're so right, there are some lovely therapists out there. The other T I once went to for short term sessions was very professional and caring. She was the one who was alarmed when I told her about the other T I'm still having problems with. So I could go back to her (the good one!) for a while just to talk this over.

Sounds like a plan. do you ahve reservations about doing this?
