Hi,

I see my counselor for the last time this Friday. I know KimmyDawn is going through a similar situation, and I admire her courage and strength as she works through this time of change.

I have some similar feelings about my counselor. I feel so grateful to have met him, and we have had a really wonderful working relationship. I, too, wish him well as he moves away. And I, too, can look at the working relationship we have had and tell other people it is possible to have a really good, healthy relationship with a counselor, and healing can occur within that kind of relationship. It does happen!

But I don't feel like my counseling work is done, and my counselor doesn't either. If he were staying here, I wish we could keep working together. And somehow inside, I don't feel ready for him to go. It all seems to have come up so suddenly. So I am struggling with this a lot, even while I continue to wish him the best, if that makes sense. But right now I am having a really hard time. And I can't imagine how Friday's appointment will even go! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I know he is leaving, but right now I can't imagine this whole thing at all. I am having such a hard time.

Thank you for listening.

Take care,
