Thanks Kenya for responding. :) It sounds like we've had very similar experiences in some ways. I've followed my T to several different offices over the years. My T also has always been available for me... even when I was seeing other Ts, if I needed to consult with her on something one time, she happily did it. She even offered to be my mentor professionally (I work in mental health), and forgo the therapy relationship. We talked about it but then she decided she couldnt ethically do that because of our history of doing therapy together. That was fine. But now, it all feels different. I always felt like she was always happy to see me. Now, not so much. Like you said, I feel like I get all standard, professional, textbook therapy responses. The personal touch is gone. It's very hard to describe. Also like you, I too am doing much better than I was a few years ago, so luckily it doesnt hurt like I imagine it may have a few years back.. but it still does hurt.
I'm going to try to talk to my T about it tomorrow. We'll see.
