You could phone now and make an appointment for whenever you'd like to see her again. Then it's clear that you'll be back. I always make appointments in advance.
Or, you could simply say, I'm not ready to terminate yet. Why would she make you? If you still need to see her once a month, or now and then, why not? That is not unusual, it's not "bad", it's not weird or anything. It's how you feel, and what you feel you need, so you could try to just blurt it out. If it were me, I'd weep copiously as I asked because I'd be afraid she'd say no, that she'd tell me I shouldn't see her anymore, that it is annoying of me to ask - but that's all just a bad fantasy.
She'll ask why, you'll talk about it, and it'll be fine. She won't be asking why because she doubts you in any way, but so that the two of you can understand where you're "at" together.Have courage! It'll be a good thing to understand it all.
