I finished CBT at the same time as you, but I'd only been seeing my former CBT-T for about 6 months. The ending didn't really feel like closure for me either and now I wish I'd managed to say more. I think it's so hard to finish like this through the public system. I know I'm left feeling like the whole situation was not my choice and was completely out of my hands. It feels a bit different when it's private I think, because then it can often end with the door being left open and that doesn't feel quite so black and white.

I think therapists are all a bit different in the way they handle post termination contact, but I think many therapists would not engage in much, perhaps just briefly pointing the former client in the right direction. If it was something I hadn't discussed before termination then I probably wouldn't risk it because I'd hate to not hear back or to receive a blunt reply.
