Our therapists have the same attitude about that. My therapist says that he has only terminated a client against his/her will once, and that only after repeated warnings about boundaries. And that he has absolutely no intention of doing it with me, and that he knows how harmful it would be to me.
I have to agree about strictly time limited therapy with no contact afterwards. I think students (or clients) should be carefully evaluated before that sort of arrangement is considered. And termination should be part of the treatment from day 1.
But I would have probably seemed an ideal candidate for time limited CBT. So maybe it's never a good idea to have that written in stone.
You had an emergency session about abandonment too? Mine was mainly about my Dad, but it spilled over into all abandonment.
