Aack. My ISP is acting up and I see the post I made didn't show up.
It is really quite understandable that you would be feeling some grief over leaving a steady intimate (if professional) relationship of three years. I was rather distressed when my ob/gyn who had seen me through my pregnancy shut down her office. If you didn't feel something for her and for the therapeutic relationship, she probably couldn't have helped you as well as she did.
I agree with Emmaley that you should really try to process that grief with her if you can. It'll be good practice for the goodbyes that seem to come along in life.
But congratulations to you for progressing to the point that you no longer feel you need therapy! I'm glad you're coping so much better. That's cause for a celebration. Or maybe a graduation. :)
