This sounds so difficult. Terminating is always a loss even if it is planned and appropriately the end of therapy. In your case, it's related to moving, so of course it would be harder...you don't feel finished!
Your T sounds very understanding and empathic. I like the ideas of sharing something of hers and taking a picture. But please also allow yourself to grieve this loss. It is a significant loss of an important relationship.
Please take extra care of yourself in this time. Moving is stressful enough and you need to nurture yourself through it.
Are you planning to begin therapy with another T in your new location? Perhaps you can process your grief about terminating with your current T with a new one. Or keep posting here. You are more than welcome to seek our support!
Take care,
