A year later, I found my current therapist, who is so freakin' amazing. In two years, she has given me the tools to transform my life that my first therapist didn't have the skills to do. She has been able to handle the heinous sexual abuse I experienced my whole childhood via my mom and the hundreds of men she passed me through, and has brought me to the path of healing.
If you're attached to your therapist I would imagine it would be painful to hear that, but if you're not feeling connected or feel like you're not being helped, like I was, then it can be a great opportunity to find someone who can help you. It doesn't mean anything negative about you, just that your therapist doesn't have the capability or tools regarding your situation to help you.

I feel attached, yeah its painful. but is it not true, that one is only attached to a therapist if they are good, and the relationship is good? That's why I want to see him again in a few weeks. But waiting is making me anxious. .
