Peaches, sometimes when we first go to a T we need something different from what we need 1 year or 2 years or 10 years later. And the T no longer has the skill set we need to move forward. Could this be some of what you are experiencing? You've grown in a different direction, perhaps, and need someone who can follow you there? Sometimes we separate from our T and move on to another one not due to a rupture or disagreement or anything negative, but just because it's time to move on in order to continue forward progress. I don't know if this is at all the case with you. It is hard to leave someone who is nice, supportive, that we know and trust, etc. Maybe you can work through your impasse and continue productively or maybe not. I did have a therapist who was fine for a while, but I reached the limits of her ability to help me, so I moved on to my current T. We have worked on a lot of completely different things than the first T. But the first T was valuable too. I hope you can find out what you need to.
