I have come a long way and I am doing better but I am terrified of going backwards or needing T. I am very attatched and I'm sure he knows because I told him and I wrote him a note. Yet, we never talked about it. He did reassure me that he would be there if I needed him. I am even more afraid/ashamed of reaching out before our appointment because I feel that he is pushing me out of the nest! Has this ever happened to anyone? How did you cope? I know in my heart its time to move on but its the first time I ever relied on someone for support without judgement or obligation and it felt so safe and warm and I am about to loose this. Thank you.

Please note everything I write is my opinion and only my opinion. My opinion is formed through my own personal experience.
I have never had a T ask to end a session early. What if you had said No? Would he have ended it early anyway? Did he even give you a choice to say no?
If your heart says it is time to move on, listen to it. But do not give up on therapy all together. Sometimes it takes time to find the right therapist for you. You told me he came highly recommended for what he did, but maybe you need better.
A month between appointments is way too long. I thought 2 weeks between your appointments was too long. Now he is asking you to go a month. That does not seem right.
You keep saying "move on" in your post. So do that, but don't quit. Move On to something better.
I am here for you if you want to continue this discussion. I am so not done discussing this
