I agree with Falls. Seeing her again will most definitely stir up all those feelings all over again. Having been in this exact situation, I guess I was bowled over (now there's an old expression!) by how much it brought all those longing feelings back AND fast.
The difference being we were both young. She was just beginning to practice privately and I was just beginning to learn about my emotional being. And I didn't understand the process, I didn't understand why I had such strong feelings for her and it frustrated me. So I quit.
I thought I could see her just 1 or 2 times to "catch up". But quickly realized, I wanted to finish what I had started with her. She had always kept strong boundaries, she was always smart, she never mis-handled my previous treatment, but was less than forgiving on some occasions (too long to explain). What I'm trying to say, I knew she was a good therapist. And I had tried others in-between. No one knew me like her. Or got it.
Good luck and think this through carefully. I waited 15 years.
