I have also quit therapy with this therapist years ago. While I was seeing her, I quit and came back a few times as well, besides the time I just plain quit mid-session. I just didn't have it in me to stay and work through so much stuff. Now that I'm much older, I'm more patient to work through some of the more painful intense feelings that pop up.
One thing I always found helpful, then and now, but it's expensive, is to get a second opinion/consultation. It will give you a bird's eye view of what is happening and often help you continue to work through your "stuff" with your current therapist.
To answer another question of yours, even when I went back after 15 years, my t was happy to see me. But yes, some of the same stuff was there because it's "my" stuff and eventually it surfaces until I work through it. It's much easier to stay and talk about your feelings of wanting to leave - over and over again.
