I say this because your T gave you ample warning of termination. Four months seems like a lot of time for the both of you to try to come to a conclusion within your sessions and for her to try to help you move on to your next step and another T.
Again, I understand how you may be feeling. I also think that by seeing another T that you have no transference issues with, can be extremely helpful to you in moving past the emotions and to start seeing things more clearly.
I wish you the best as you move forward. While moving forward may be difficult and painful, it also has it's most wonderful rewards!
