I've never been "terminated" or "discharged," so not sure what that would feel like; I suspect I'd be pretty annoyed. But former T got ill rather suddenly, and when he returned to work after @ 6 weeks recovery time, he told me that he needed to scale back his work and so was closing his private practice. So in that sense, he made the decision and it didn't have anything to do with me. He continued his main employment at the University for another year because it made more sense professionally and financially. We had a few more sessions to wrap up my feelings during his illness, and a few long-term issues. Some strong emotions and pretty valuable sessions. I think the actual leaving was more difficult for him tbh than for me; not just related to me, but because he was ending his practice.
