with_or_without_you: Thanks so much for sharing your story. (We're around the same age, too.) They're very similar to mine, and I also had a previous therapist who left but I never told her how I felt. This time is much harder though. I have a friend in training to be a clinical psych as well! I actually met up with her two weeks ago and she assured me that they really do care. It's comforting to know that someone else has gone through the same thing, that I'm not just being too emotional. I think part of it has to do with the fact that therapy and everything related to mental health is still a bit taboo. Before therapy, I always assumed that people didn't really like their therapists.
