Hi Kara,
I'm a little sleepy today (had to get up for my daughter), so I may not make any sense.
I'm confused about this therapist. Is he new for you (how many sessions)?. But you say something about a "last appointment", so are you terminating?
I guess that I think it is almost always instructive to go back and talk about what didn't work. It gives them a chance to explain what they were trying to do, and may give you insight into how you see things. Lets you clean the air.
The time you don't go back (and this is the case with my last therapist) is when going back would be so traumatic that any gains wouldn't offset the trauma.
If this is a new guy and he is still trying to figure out how you work, then a discussion might be really helpful. (Because starting all over is Always a drag!)
Don't call your ex!! You are doing great! It will get easier each day.
