No, I haven't asked. I do know my T said at the outset that he doesn't see clients for longterm therapy (more than 3 years) so termination sometimes lurks in the back of my mind, but not a fear that he will abruptly abandon me. One time he was telling me about a short vacation he took to another city and he mused that he might like to move there. He then told me not to worry, he wasn't planning on this, it was just something he might like to do sometime far in the future. So I feel he is sensitive to my possibly being afraid of abandonment, even though I have not voiced that to him.
