Therapist "changing" careers!Go ![]() | New ![]() | Find ![]() | Notify ![]() | Tools ![]() | Reply ![]() | |
I just found out a few hrs. ago my therapist of the past 5 1/2 yrs. is changing his career direction. Bottom line, he's not going to see patients after Sept. 30 of this year. I spent the first 2 yrs. fearful he'd leave me. Then I finally relaxed into the whole process and stopped worrying. I had been started to think about life after therapy, and I know I"ll be alright. He's offered to help me find a new therapist. He said we have three months to work through this and I can text, call, email as much as I feel the need to. He even said I could be angry at him, yell at him, whatever I need. I told him thru my sobbing I'd never had a good, goodbye. So he said lets make that our goal and then we shook hands on it. I of course had to ask him if he needed to quit because I was too difficult and he thought I'd never leave. lol He said no and explained his job change. I still feel squiggly inside even tho I GET it. I just wanted to share somewhere I felt others would understand. Thanks, tacy | |||

oh dear, tacy- we do understand...please keep posting as much as you need to. It's very difficult to go through this and you shouldn't be alone with it. It sounds like your T is being very understaning to you, so that is good. hugs, BB "A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one, finds a treasure." -Sirach 6:14 | ||||
