Beautymarked,
You are in such a difficult place. I had therapy in college that had some similariites to what you describe. The best 2 outcomes I can think of (what would have been best for me at the time) are 1- That I could have a few additional "ending" sessions to let my T know more about how I felt; and I could have some time to process my feelings with him before the finality of it. or 2- That I could have been a little stronger, happier with myself that I didn't become so dependent on him.
I spent many months (maybe even a couple of years) trying to stop thinking of him and stop hoping to run into him. That was a very hard time in my life. My feelings were so strong and I turned inward - beating myself up for not being more honest in the sessions. But it was so hard, with such powerful feelings, and working with interns who are just learning themselves how to handle the feelings.
If you don't get another session with him, I would think that a few sessions with someone would be very beneficial - so that you are not hard on yourself.
I hope you are able to work through this with a positive outcome. I don't really know what else to say but good luck with it.
Joni
