Eveyone has posted such wonderful insights that I don't know if I can contribute more except support.
You will get through this because you have in the past. There could be several issues converging together - transference, sensing correctly he is less available (thinking about his friend), re-creating the detachment you felt as a child --- have you heard the term counter-phobic? My child's T explained it as creating for yourself (in the here and now) that very thing you are most afraid of happening. It feels like a little of that is occuring here.
Perhaps moving the final items from your home triggered a finality of your decision - a seperation - and that is bringing up for you the feelings of seperating from your T. Gently remind yourself that he is not asking you to leave him. In fact, he wants to continue the therapy as it was. He wants to see you. He wants you to share what you are thinking. He wants to help you because he can.

I hope you find that special place soon.
