I agree that your old T contacting you could be triggering all sorts of things - sadness from the loss, reminding you of what's undone, and a splash of reality of your current situation which isn't all roses and sunshine.

It can create a whole whirlwind of emotions. Kinda like being in therapy....I spend most of my time avoiding feelings...and then BAM, I am supposed to FEEL in therapy - and it's pretty anxiety producing for me. So, any engagement with T would be a trigger for me to feel....So, perhaps there's some of that going on too for you?

I like the idea of you reaching out to your old T for some guidance and perhaps trying a new T. I know that's a hard thing to do, but one thing I've read is that you don't really "start from scratch". You start from where you are now.



BIG HUGS
