As in, this may be just my experience but it seems logical -- current T took umbrage at my leaving her (psychodynamic) for a psychoanalyst. So, short of telling her how she sucked (see good relationship go out the window) or straight up lying, there was no way out of it.

Well, seeing another specialist, original therapist retires, you move somewhere else, your therapist needs to cut her practice/gets sick/goes on maternity leave/no longer takes your insurance...I can envision lots of ways one can part on good terms. And it's always possible for two people to understand they just don't go together and part ways amicably and wish each other well. (Apparently not with your personal Medea, though.)
No. 3 and I certainly parted on decent terms, so that falls under the "client moved" scenario. But I don't have a sense of closure.
