I did this once with an old T that just devastated me and abandoned me after he had agreed to take me on for long-term therapy. When I requested to meet with him to "clear" this up, he agreed, but all he kept saying was "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It wasn't what I wanted and going had its own impact, which took me awhile to get over. I couldn't have done it w/o my long-standing T who agreed how unethical the other one was. She helped me work through it, but it was very painful.
So please take care. And expect nothing, except for how you will react if he gets angry or defensive. Don't let him blame it on you. If he does, you're going nowhere.
Despite the pain, I'm still glad I went back. In the long run it helped me work through many issues re: my abandonment issues.
Good luck,
antigua
