Not a T retirement, but my first T ended up taking a job where I worked (not in the exact department but we would have some work overlaps in the future). I had seen him for about 2 years. I had a few months' notice, but I found I wanted to start seeing someone else right away. I switched to a female T and she was even better for me. I terminated therapy with her after about three years.

I was attached to my first T but I also think it was easy for me to move on. I felt energized in my therapy process with the new T, kind of like reinventing myself as a T client, having the chance to both start over and start anew (not the same thing) was helpful to me. I didn't just go over old ground with her, I started right where I was.
