I've been through forced termination twice. Once with no notice, and once with two months notice (because the therapist was going to move). Neither felt like closure. The two months of termination was just as hard as the unexpected no-notice one. Maybe it would have felt different if it had been my choice, but I think it's hard no matter the reason.

Unless termination is happening because an individual feels they've gotten what they came for, I think it's going to be hard to find closure. I really feel for you on this. I totally understand how it feels to know when it's not working and not be able to walk away because of a connection. If I could go back, though, I would have liked to be the one walking away, no matter how painful. In the end, I am better off for those terminations because it made room for me to find the right therapist.

Whatever you decide to do, do it for yourself and not because of what anyone (including your therapist) says.
