You were badly treated by someone who knew you extremely well and was supposed to be in a helping profession, and that is not a betrayal that you can get over lightly. But I know from my own experience and lots of others here that there are great T's out there, though there are an alarming number of terrible ones. You know more about therapy now, and you will be able to find someone good sometime soon I hope. Maybe try distracting yourself with a list of questions you want to ask the next prospective T? Like about how they handle terminations, for starters.

I agree. You're mourning a loss of a relationship. It's not necessarily a completely forward path. It certainly sounds like a few romantic breakups I've had, where I'd think I was doing better, then suddenly be really sad and missing the person again. (Then there were some breakups where I just went on with my life and barely gave them another thought.) So don't beat yourself up over missing T. It's natural.
