My ex therapist has been traveling for the past five months.
He just announced on his blog that he is returning home early.
I have felt so fortunate to have had this almost daily connection.
I have been learning to live without our therapy sessions. But not him.
Im still in love with him. Now that he is returning to his new life retired I dont know what to expect.
How often will we have contact? Can I refrain from contacting him when I need some guidance.
Will my security net of knowing what he has been doing everyday be less than ocassionaly seeing or talking with him. I am afraid I might push him away with too much attempt s to have contact.

One thing to consider is that there are professional codes of ethics regarding past and present clients by therapists. Knowing those limits and respecting them may allow (if your therapist still wants contact) to have limited contact with your therapist. There are many ifs in what you are hoping for.

Here are some articles that discuss these issues more in depth
