I have run into trouble with a new venture - group therapy. My regular T moved away and whilst we have lots of contact I don't see her face to face and I miss that. She suggested a weekly group might be the answer in addition to our calls. I was keen to try a group as I am not very assertive, have a large demanding family with massive boundary issues and thought a group might teach me to hold my own. I met with the group leader who told me I needed to see her individually first. I really didn't like it as I don't want another individual therapist. I love my longterm T. I probably haven't dealt very well with the fact she has moved away but I didn't feel how much I missed her until that moment. HUGE threat to have her 'replaced' and have to open up to someone else. But I continued anyway as it was supposed to be five sessions max before I joined the group. I have now been told by her there is no group as it's all fallen apart. She has offered me another group that is not local or a different group leader. I have asked for infomation about this via email (I was too shocked when I left our last session to ask proper questions) and she has responded that we should talk about it at our next session. What next session?!! Why do I have to go back?! She is not going to be my group therapist anymore, certainly don't want her as an individual therapist and I have already spent $$$ doing individual sessions I didn't want. I am freaked out and angry. But a more grown up part (?) thinks 'its not her fault its a blip go in and see what other groups she can offer thank her for her time (?!) and the issues raised (I miss my 'real' T ALOT). Or can I just... cut my losses and run? Thats what I want to do - not even respond to her email and not show. (new here, bit ashamed of my reactions)
