Yikes! I can imagine how awful this must feel....and the uncertainty just adds to the anxiety of it all.

I reduced my sessions from 2x/week to 1x/week which doesn't sound like a big deal - but at the time, it was to me. I found myself withdrawing from T and feeling SO much more anxious between sessions. It felt like a LONG time. But, after a while, it became easier to deal with.

It might be worthwhile to list out the different options and come up with a strategy for each one....and if the worst case is true, then come up with a plan on gradually stretching the sessions out.....

I'm sorry you're going through this right now. It's tough to have something like this happen that's out of your control.

As an aside, I may be going through something similar soon....because I do not have a full time job...funds are running out....and I found out today that my job may not become full time for quite a while....leaving me possibly needing to plan on selling my house....Therapy may have to be reduced....But I am trying not to freak out about now. I'd rather wait until I know for sure, because it only adds more stress in my life to fret over something I'm unsure of.
