Totally lost

S sparklewhizzMember
I have been seeing my counsellor for nearly 2 years and had roughly 3/4 months left before ending therapy. My counsellor has today left me a voicemail to say he is needing time out from therapy due to a personal issue. I totally get this and feel really sad for what he must be going through, but I'm not dealing with it well. The irrational side of me feels abandoned and that this is another major loss in my life. I feel I need some closure but I can't get any. I tried to call him back (as he asked me) but had to leave a voicemail - am totally lost!

Sparkle,



I am SO sorry about what you are going through right now. I hope that once you reach T, you will get more clarification and find out how long the break will be, and if there is another T that herecommends while away. I know how much attachment/bond to T can hurt sometimes, and how having something like this unexpectedly happen like this would have you feeling lost.

You came to the right place here. We are here to support you, and hope that you do well through this challenge. Please keep us posted, and you are in my thoughts--hoping that it's a short break, or something could be figured out so you can continue progress with your therapy goals.

Just got a call back from my therapist. Short call, but both of us in tears on phone. IK now know it's not the end, as he said when he has dealt with his personal issue he will ring and we can continue. Still feel very lost, but need to look at this as a challenge - I want to make him proud of me for being able to use the skills he has taught me for times such as this.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
