There are therapists with whom I wanted termination sessions, mostly No. 3 (who also didn't charge for them).
There are also therapists I never wanted to see again once I decided to leave, to wit DBC and now CW.
It probably depends on the relationship. And therapists probably overvalue the quality of the relationship, because that's one measure of whether they are any good at their job or not.
And the money doesn't hurt either.
