that's an amazing story. does it make you feel secure that he does that? (won't let you quit?). my therapist is so big on giving me as much power as possible in our relationship that if i say i am going to quit, she might call once to try to convince me not to but mostly she'll just say she respects my decision. i think if she responded like your therapist, i would feel much safer, much more "surrounded" by her somehow as in a safety net, and i wouldn't have to go back and forth all the time about should i quit or not. (i also have a hard time staying in a relationship when i've been really hurt.)
i would be so incredibly touched to get the kind of document your therapist gave you. that is a very special thing. and i do agree with him, that before someone quits, there should be a mandatory several sessions to explore why. by that time, the person probably wouldn't want to quit anymore. and if they do, it's probably the right thing.
