My therapist told me this past Monday that she is closing her practice and has found another job. She will be working at a mental health center and no longer a therapist. I have two months left with her. I am not handling this well. Its going to be a huge loss. She has said that we can keep in contact when therapy ends. This is a positive termination but I feel so much sadness and anger towards her. I have talked about these feelings with her and she just says they are normal. I suggested we write each other letters and she thought that was a good idea. I am just not coping well.

How have other people dealt with a positive termination? How did you deal with your feelings? How did your last sessions go? Did you keep in contact with your T? If so, how did that go? Did you give your T a present at your last session? Were you emotional at your last session? How do you move on from it?
