I'm wondering whether yr T has any thought of retiring from full time work but retaining just a couple of clients? She knows of course that you two are working in deep waters and how immensely hard it would for you to begin again.
for myself, hearing "months and months of notice" would not reassure me; I'd need to talk to her about how she could work out a way to stay the course. Discussing this is going to take courage on your part....  |
Hi Sittingatwatersedge,
Yes, she talked a year ago as though she'd retire and go back to private practice and keep me as a patient. But recently when i've brought up fears about her retirement and how i might not be healed yet, she sort of alluded to me possibly needing to see somebody else. So i don't know. i kind of put her on the spot last week and reminded her of what she told me last year. So then she said she had thought of working out of her home office but wasn't sure yet. I said i wasn't trying to sway her one way or the other -- that i dread termination but want her to do what she feels is right -- and she told me "Thanks." So I just don't know what she will decide. . .
