Your idea of exchanging letters is a good idea. I wished I got a letter or card or something from prevT. I was too afraid to ask her. I did give her a card.
You should just ask her for a letter. Don't make the same mistake as me. If a letter from her can help you with the termination process. Maybe you can ask her in a session some sessions before the last session. Then she can prepare herself a bit. Or maybe she wants to write it before the last session.
Somewhere in the beginning of therapy with current T, we spoke about termination and in what ways you can sat goodbye to a T. She said she always writes a letter to the client. She also said that some clients want to take a photo with her and she allows that. That's a positive thing about current T, she really gets that termination can be hard for some clients.
