I'm sorry this is so hard, and that you have to go through this. My T and I are very connected and we have a special relationship, yet next year I'll lose her when I graduate (and a small possibility it may be later this year, if she is unable to keep seeing me due to policy), and it already hurts and upsets me whenever I think about it. My T kind of brushes it off, says she doesn't want me to be "a mess" and she doesn't want to sit there thinking I'm in anguish or jumping off a bridge because of it. I'm noticing she tends to turn my issues around on herself. Anyway, I've learned to not bring it up again, until the time comes. I guess my point is that even though what you're going through majorly sucks, at least you have a T who undertstands it and is working with you in a way that will ultimately help you deal with the ending of therapy in a healthy and therapeutic way. Imagine if he didn't deal with it, just let you end without any regard to how it would affect you? Eeks...I fear that's what may happen with me.
My blessings. Try to take care.
