How did you feel when you switched therapists?
HORRIBLE. My 1st therapist dumped me out of NOWHERE one night, totally traumatizing. I tried NINE freaking new T's before I found my "new" T. I was totally grumpy and sick and tired. The 1st night we saw her, we told her we didn't like her because she wasn't old T. Now, we LOVE her.
Do you ever try to NOT repeat the same mistakes with your new therapist?
YES, definitely
When you try not too, do you ever still repeat them anyways?
I am sure I have
Did switching therapist effect you at all or we're you mostly okay with it?
Yes-- doing SOOOO much better with new T-- made more progress in one year with her than we did in 7 years with old T.
How long did it take you to stop thinking about your old therapist and move forward?
she dumped me 4 years ago-- I still think of her nearly every day--1st I was devastated about her leaving me. But my new T is SOOOOO amazing (and she thinks my old T was a total b*t*h ) that I don't really miss old T anymore--she was kind of a jerk! It took about 2 years to finally start moving forward from being dumped. Its still hard sometimes.
