I have been out of therapy since around the end of March I guess. The thing is, I was ok with it when I found out he was leaving. Now however. . .I am struggling badly. It isn't so much that I miss my T so much as it is that I miss the opportunity to "download" with someone from time to time. I am debating on whether or not to go back into therapy - I have to use the center I was at before b/c my p-doc is there and if I want to use a different place, then I have to change p-doc, which I really don't want to do. He respects my choices, works with me on medication issues, and is QUITE supportive. I see him once a month, and he spends a good hour each time with me. Not your traditional psychiatrist. Here is the problem. . as of right now, they do not have a male counselor or psychologist. I don't do women. I never have been able to. . .I don't trust them. Women are touchy. No male T in his right mind would ever pat me on the leg during therapy, but women do this. at least in my experience.

Anyone else deal with anything like this? I can feel myself cycling to that place where I'm not exactly going to have an option about therapy, but I'd rather do it on my terms, you know? If you've dealt with this, how did you do it? How did you get over the fear?
