Well, my T claims that he *always* works out what happens after termination on a case-by-case basis in a cooperative way. He told me a few stories about ex-clients who had different needs and handle it in different ways. They were reassuring stories.
We talked a bit about the hard boundaries, too. Apparently, the only really hard boundary, in terms of what we can talk about, is that he's not willing to talk about the intimate aspects of his relationship with his wife. Fair enough.
He actually did 90% of the talking yesterday. Which was, I think, what I needed. And him too. I had previously not wanted him to tell me stories about how his relationships with other clients, but I think it will be helpful for me to have heard this stuff.
