(((pegasus))),
It sounds like you have some loose ends you feel you need to tie up. I'm sorry that therapy ended in a bad way for you. It sounds like maybe you need to get some of your anger about it out.
Do you think it would be helpful to write a letter to your ex-T telling him what about the termination was so difficult for you and what parts of his behavior hurt you? Then, perhaps you could follow-up with a phone call requesting a session or two to talk about the letter.
He must have given you a lot of what you needed when you were in therapy with him, though, if you feel the need to reach back for him. Would it help to write that down and try to see where you have or can find that with your current support systems? Maybe you could tell us what was helpful about your relationship with him.
Sorry you're suffering.
Take care,
Laurie
