I found it too hard just to leave though, so I took a 'break' for four months and consulted another (much better) therapist about my feelings toward T1 then after 4 months I realised I was making better progress with T2, so I contacted T1 to terminate.

I terminated because of similar feelings after 5+ years, on the couch 3-4 times a week. I or we couldn't resolve my longings. But we left on good terms.
We stay in touch, occasionally, because my sister, Mom, and Dad all died within 7 months.
