So I wrote a letter to my T (I do think you should write to your T if you want to) explaining that I was finding the ending much more difficult then expected & a couple of weeks later he wrote me back & asked me to come and see him for another session.

The only thing is, I was quite worried about not receiving a reply & if I would be able to deal with a rejection so I kept my letter relatively formal. So I'd say write a letter if you want, but think about the worst case scenario & how that would make you feel & if your ok with that go for it. Good Luck
Unfortunately (I say this word way too much) I don't think she would offer me another session. Not that I know what she would/wouldn't do, but I was supposed to finish at 12 sessions, but because I was in such a state, she offered me 2 more... problem is, they wouldn't pay her for them because they weren't part of the 12 sessions max

I felt very bad after that, I'm not sure whether she did get paid or not, and if I had any money at all, I would've given it to her.
I guess my point and worry is that seeing as she already gave me 2 more sessions I doubt she would give me another one.

All of this was the calm before the storm - last night when I was alone in my room, it hit me. Hard. I have never felt so much pain and heartbreak and loneliness and abandonment in my life. I cried literally buckets, which is new for me.
