I wouldn't assume that he's going to do anything but discuss it in person. Whenever I quit my therapist, he always wanted to do it in person. One time he even offered to see me for free to do it, since I didn't want to pay for a session to terminate.
It was never horrible. He just wanted to check out what I was thinking about termination and tell me how much he had enjoyed working with me. Maybe point out a few reasons that it would be better for me to stay or reasons I might have for wanting to quit before I was ready. But it was never horrible or anything.
So assume it might be a bit uncomfortable, but nothing to dread. And if by chance, he isn't as wonderfully professional as my therapist, at least you won't have two weeks of worry as well.
And you can spend the way home composing a post to us, telling us all about what happened.
