There's a book called "When to Say Goodbye to Your Therapist" that's pretty thorough on termination. It sounds as if you are feeling good and may be ready to fly solo.
I imagine that while therapists might be a bit sad to lose someone they have had a good experience with, it's probably the good sort of sad that parents have when their kids are doing well and set out on their own.
And more and more today, the end of therapy doesn't have to be final. So if at some point you need a tune up or some short term advice, most therapists leave the door open.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes with your therapist!
