Wow LG. Wow for the astonishing way your new T treated you and wow for the support and love you got from old T. I can't believe the new T said that to you...and your old T is right: YOU are the client...this is YOUR therapy. A professional and mature thing to say would be "I'm sorry you feel that way and I understand your need for warmth, however, that may not be what I can offer you and if that is the case we could both find you another T more suitable for your needs."

If you don't mind me asking...Why did you have to leave old T? And, are your visits with old T therapy sessions or just friendly meetings at a coffee shop or something? Just interested because I have an old T that I got really close to but it wasn't productive anymore just because I knew a little too much about her and became her therapist! However, I still care about her and would love to catch up occasionally.

Glad you are feeling a bit better...remember this process is about YOU and YOUR needs...hang in there
