All I can think of is that your therapist is hurting about all of this too and not handling it well. Maybe that is what I want to think.
I think termination should be either be ripping the band-aid off quick --- your last session is sad and painful but you are left with the rest of your impressions about it being "safe" intact; OR --- you should be moving away slowly, catching up eagerly with each other when you do get-together, sharing how hard it is to miss someone so important in your life and celebrating your successes that you attribute to what you learned from therapy. I think that you should get to take a little piece of your therapist with you each and everytime so that eventually you've built a clone inside yourself that is yours when you need him. And still, you know the "real thing" is out there if your model needs repair.
Mostly, I'm so sorry for your pain. This is one of those times that you need more than the computer screen. I'm glad you have your hubby.
