I really hope it's not a terrible process when both agree to it, because I know that it's in my future.
The only positive thing I've had from a termination session was saying everything I wanted to say before it was over. Even then, down the road, you wish you would have said something different. For me, I would have realized that it was my T who was a douche, not me.

You put your finger on a key point here. Terminating with a T leaves the door half open. It has neither the permanence of a death nor the gradual tail-off of a real relationship.
Had we been on better terms, I might have eased out by seeing her less frequently.
It would have been better to have simply cut her off, but I thought I would save myself some guilt by following the rules. So instead of feeling guilty at a quick ending I feel cheated by a slow one.
