Mouse,
I'm feeling exactly the same way -- you're not alone. Last session, I did tell my T about how I am so attached to him and that I don't want him ever to leave. Your fears are my reality. He told me that he thought the world of me but that the therapeutic relationship would end sooner or later. He said that he didn't want to lie to me to make me feel better. I was bawling the whole time. I then got angry and sent him a scathing email. He called to see if I was okay, which made me feel a little better. But now I am left to mourn the fact that he won't be in my life forever. He tells me that this devastation will get better and I hope he is right. I guess this is a reality we all in therapy have to face sooner or later. Depending on our past, I guess it will affect some more than others. My T told me that anger is a stage in the mourning process. I'm teetering between the anger stage and denial stage. I think I'll stay in the denial stage for awhile as it is less upsetting. I feel for you and hope you take care of yourself.
