I definitely cannot imagine starting over with another therapist. This process of attachment has taken me a long, long time (19 years). She has been so patient and compassionate. I will work with her until she totally retires. We talked in our session today and she plans to continue working with no real plans to totally retire anytime soon. I told her it worried me that she told me she signed a 2 year lease with her colleagues in a new office across the hall and that it felt like I only had her for 2 more years. She assured me that if and when she retires that I would still be able to reach her by phone should I need her and that it is a long way off and I should focus on the present. But she is 66 years old. You would never know looking at her though. I am lucky to have her in my life. I thank God everyday!!!
