Morgen,
If you didn't feel all the emotions you described so well- then I think your therapy wouldn't be considered successful. Therapy is a one-way street (for emotions), the therapist is the one with power and it is normal and right to resent that. But what you have learned is that no matter how much anger you feel at being 'abandoned', you have in fact not been abandoned- you are the one moving away. It's in therapy where we practice life in a safe environment and can express all kinds of anger and still be safe. You most certainly can be successful in business but not in life, and isn't it your right to be happy in life-I think that's in the constitution:-)? I feel you should seriously consider getting another therapist (at least short term) when you move and work out these issues. Abandonment is a biggie for me also, and an issue that I've worked on for years- getting a lot better than I have been in the past.
take care, judy
