Hi, Dinah. I'm sosorry you've gotten such a jolt about your T's availability--even if it's not a fait accompli, but only a seemingly ever-present, amorphous threat.
Honestly, if my T announced that he were moving/closing his practice/doing anything that would affect our connection, I would lose it. Especially given the vagueness and pendingness of the disconnection. I personally could not feel safe in that context--of course, I also couldn't stop seeing him.
Is there any sort of solid ground you can establish?
Maybe the thing to do is to work out some arrangement, so that you have some certainty--not vague promises or hopes, but actual scenarios, and commitments-- about how he would handle future situations. He must have some good ideas of what types of jobs he's looking for-- and therefore various ways he would (not could, or would like to, but would) handle it.
What a huge disruption. :{
