dinah,
It maybe time then for you to bring up the termination yourself in therapy.
Tell your therapist how you feel, and then together you both can decide if the time is right for you.
I have never been through the termination phase with a long term therapist, but there is a lot of work to be done to ensure that both parties (yes, even the therapist) can untangle themselves from each other.
One thing that may help is to remember that there is no such thing as a permanent termination. Their door should be, and usually is, always open for you.
