>> what if you didnt get a choice and your counselor just decided one day she was done with you? how would you handle that?
it happened to me. My T of 4 yrs started looking for her own replacement. Her enthusiasm in making the search told me we were already finished (not ME, just US).

>> How would you handle it?
with a LOT of hurt, and feelings of abandonment.

>> Would you want to crawl in a hole and die?
yep, sure did.

>> Would you say "Yippee! I am free!"
not for a minute. i know how much needs fixing.

>> Would you seek out another therapist?
yes, and although I thought about taking a long break, i saw her just the very next week

AND

Have. never. looked. back.
T2 is the best thing that could have happened to me. I am very thankful for her.
