Hi Littlemouse,
I am going through the termination phase too, and it is soooo hard to let go. I was mostly okay with it, until others issues came up that I needed his help with, so termination will be probably be put off past the end of this year. I have been seeing my T for over 2 1/2 years, and there is such a bond, I am so thankful in him helping me. I will truely miss him, but I see him around the gym sometimes so that won't be so bad, and if I need to see him another time in the future, he said I could call him. He has had clients sometimes come back 3 times over 20 years or so. Have you talked about if you need therapy after termination, can you come back? Sometimes that helps but it isn't always possible.
But I understand the horrible feeling of even thinking about it, but you can do it, nothing would make your T happier , than seeing you graduate and be on your own. That is the biggest compliment for a T, is living your life to the fullest. But it is so hard to think of giving them up.
