Hey pbutton,

I have been in situations very similar to yours of loosing therapists/ mental health workers after building up the relationship and then having to end, I know how scary and painful it can be and my heart goes out to you.

On the positive side, it sounds like T2 is really good and I am thinking that once you get used to them and build up a relationship, that you will work great together and although you don't think it's possible now, you may even eventually find T2 better....but I know you are not at that stage yet. It will be hard not to compare T2 to T1 for a while, and thats ok, it's just how we make sense of things like this .

I know you are kind of dreading the last session with T1, I understand how that is, I have been there too. Perhaps you could give T1 a gift or a card or something to maybe make things feel a bit more positive? However I know it will still be hard.

You have taken the brave step of starting to see someone new, so you are a strong person, it just takes times to adjust but I think you will as T2 sounds very good.

good luck
