Having a hard time

So I took my daughter to see her therapist yesterday. My daughter is only 4 and has already had two different therapists in the last year. The first one we didnt really like and she made problems worse for us and our daughter. CPS helped us find a new one which we all love. MY daughter has been seeing her for 6 months and is just now starting to open up and really trust her. I have become attached to her also because lately our weekly appointments have been an hour and a half so that the therapist could spend 45 minutes with me and 45 minutes with my daughter. I had really started opening up this lady also.

She told us yesterday at our session that she is quitting her job. She is leaving to stay home with her son who is less than two years old. My daughter didnt seemed bothered by it at first when the therapist told her, she said she was okay with seeing the new lady. But after we got home you could tell she was having a hard time and acting different.

But it has been very hard for me. I am not even really sure why. I thought I would be bothered this much if my P stopped seeing me since I am dealing with transference towards him, but not if just any other therapist did this. I dont know if it triggered the fact that this could happen anytime with any therapist or P. Or if it was because it was something we werent expecting. I dont know but it has made me want to cut and I am going crazy with this. We only have three more sessions with her before she will be gone. This is really hard to deal with and I really want to talk to my P about this but dont even know how to explain how I am feeling or why.
