This is very tough to hear. I know because I've heard it before and the answer in my case was to be booted out of therapy.
But... this may not be true in your case. Did your psychologist ever contact you after you said you were quitting? I'm not clear on this. You say that he had no idea what brought you to this decision, which makes me think you had some contact with him, but you didn't bring up the reason why you were terminating.
It's terrible to leave things hanging; they eat away at me until I resolve them.
Do you have an opportunity to resolve this? Can you talk to him about this? If you can, I think you should, because as someone said, he may have meant that he'd taught you all he knew and now you would have to move on and learn together. I'd like to think that was the case.
I wouldn't think it was a "secret" way. I think he would have been much more direct, and even recommended someone else who he thought could help you better. I don't think he would have just abandoned you like that.
