Here's my take....

If your feelings for your T are in line with previous feelings for other similar type people in your past, I think it's worth trying to work through. I wouldn't want to keep repeating painful patterns of attachment if it could be helped. However, I am not convinced that working through even exists, or won't take a ridiculously long time to accomplish. Or that you won't re experience the painful loss when you have to leave therapy.

Look, there's only so much suffering a person can take. If you're being torn apart inside with no sign of getting better, sometimes it's best to distance yourself and find a T that you can form a different type of attachment to. I think this forum attracts a lot of people who feel really strongly towards their Ts, but I know other people who have more casual relationships in therapy.

I wasn't going to post it this way, but I actually termed with T1 today. My feelings for him were making me miserable and this has been the most tumultuous year of my life. T2 is female, and I feel much more stable and comfortable discussing things. I believe that certain personality combinations can make therapy too intense, and although some might say I'm running away, I felt in my heart I was doing the healthy and best thing for me. I definitely still have father issues, but I no longer believe I need to recreate the experience with a T. Grieving the loss will have to be enough.
