I have definite difficulties with relationships, some would call it an attachment problem. So to experience, in therapy, a rather extreme form of attachment and then abandonment is a worst-nightmare-realized scenario. Just as you say it was taken away prematurely and completely. No more contact would be allowed, period.
I think it's unconscionable that people who are already in distress or have a history of trauma or relational miseries, are put in these no-win situations by these idiot therapists. You either get subjected to continued torment and wounding in therapy, or you face the anguish of suddenly being alone with all that has been stirred up. And… as a parting gift I got the blame too. Yay!
