That sounds like a painful romantic disappointment, plus a bad therapy termination all at once. No wonder you're floored by it. I don't think he did a very good job in that last session, if you ended up feeling unexpectedly terminated. It's like the worst possible therapy scenario. I got unexpectedly terminated from group therapy once, and oh man, that was awful.
My first thought was you need to find a female therapist and work through this loss with her. I just can't imagine going through it alone, or getting what you need for closure from him, or being able to open up to another male therapist at this point. I had a woman friend who found healing from a painful romantic attachment to a therapist, by doing just that.
