My therapist is also a psychotherapist (with a lot of experience) but not a psychologist. I've been told by her on a number of occasions that she thought I might be better seeing a psychologist. To be honest, nobody could have helped me better than she has. She's been brilliant every step of the way. Though she's never gone as far as saying she couldn't help me anymore, and would only support me until I found someone else (thank goodness because that would be devastating to me too). There have been times when she's said "I don't know what to do from here"...I have been a challenge! I've always been clear about how much I want her help, and even though she's made those suggestions, she's stuck it out with me so far.

It sounds like you need to talk to your therapist more about this and have a really open discussion about why she thinks you should see someone else, and you in turn need to tell her all of the reasons you don't want this...so you can work out what really is best for you. I am sorry! i really can imagine how hard the situation must be for you. I know exactly how hard it would be to have my therapist disappear from my life, even if someone else took over (even if they were equally good, or better in different ways).
