So, I've had time to think about different solutions with T leaving practice (Parts i and ii), and I do truly appreciate the support and hugs. It's so nice that you guys understand how difficult it is regarding next steps Thank you.

My T and I spoke about it in person, and I shared my concerns about her leaving and where I we are right now. And how I am worried about what comes next. I cried.

I told I feel as if I am a better person for our time together.

I feel really sad. But I also am really happy for her and her next steps. She is the best. We discussed different options - I cried some more - we threw around some "wish list" ideas (my wish list, of course ).

In our next meeting, we will continue to think about the transitioning to a new T. In the meantime, I will continue to celebrate and think positively about the solid foundation that she and I worked on creating together. That part won't go away

We will meet again next week to talk about more ideas and how the process of transition will happen.

I feel so sad and I'm still teary eyed (I already mentioned that - twice sorry!).

BUT Instead of taking a nap, though, to not feel the sadness, I am allowing myself to feel it (it HURTS). I came here to write to you all and share what's going on. I feel better for you being here and having those to relate with.

I will keep you posted. Thanks again ((((Rose))))
