Another thing that always immensely helps me whenever I feel hurt and abandoned by my T is the thought that he is perhaps just like me.. as weak, as human, as troubled, and having emotional issues of his own perhaps to deal with. That thought always makes me see him in the correct perspective.. and removes the hurt.

When you said you want to feel angry towards him, I thought this might help you. For me, my old T was barely 3 years elder to me. So I keep trying to remember that, that he is just like me and that helps me not to hold anything against him. If you are feeling abandoned and left by your T, it might help you to realize he is probably feeling the same to an extent with you. That you came and leaned on him and grew, and now you are flying away and no longer need him. He probably feels a little bit of the empty nest syndrome that parents feel when the kids go away.

If you had a good relationship with your T, he would probably be missing you as well, and remembering that will remove some of the hurt that you are experiencing now.
