But I do endings really badly myself.
However... You said you could see where he was coming from. Does that mean that you see that you're reaching the goals you entered therapy for? If you recap your therapeutic experience, what do you find?
Some therapists prefer that the ending be final - part of the therapeutic process. But a lot of them leave the door open should you ever need to come in for a tune up. I think the latter approach would work better for me. Do you know how your therapist feels about it?
I do know how you feel, unfortunately. I've told my therapist he's going to have to peel me from around his feet like one of those cartoon characters.
