Did you spend some time talking to her about termination? Some reading I've done makes me think that termination is one of the more important stages in therapy. I have heard that if a plan is made for termination - if you set a date 1 month or 6 months in advance (or whatever works for you), that you have more of a chance to wrap things up and figure out what the termination really means to you.
I know you feel ready to go, and that is really great (I can't imagine!). But it does seem that this is difficult for you, so examining that a little may be a good thing.
I'm so glad you are doing well enough to leave!
