Do you mean you have to leave this therapist in 2 months? If so I would consider waiting till you're settled somewhere before you look into therapy long term. It would be hard to just get going at the point where you have to stop because you are leaving the area.
If you are continuing therapy right now, it would be worth talking to your therapist about the strong feelings which are emerging.

Thanks for the reply
Yes, I was referred by my college and I am leaving in 2 months (the college is contracted with the T, I think) and moving out of the city another month or two later.
I suppose I am in a bit of 'rush' mentally with sorting my issues out asap, because I am sitting my final exams soon and I am quite frustrated that my issues are interfering with my studies (which I guess is making things worse come to think of it). I should learn to take things easy...
