Hi Everyone,

I got dumped by my t and I am posting this everywhere because this is hard! I got an email on Friday two weeks ago, and had my final meeting with her on the Monday after that. She didn't really dump me, she just had to move out of town immediately because her husband had taken a new job. Still, I feel deserted. I am trying to figure out the word that describes being in a professional/personal relationship and then having it severed. I am guessing that the t feels some empathy towards their clients, just as I do towards my students' lives, but on the other end of the relationship, it is so much more complicated. I feel so sad!

Meanwhile, I have had a meeting with a new t. How do I learn to like her? I have decided that next week I am going to ask her to share some personal information. I need to have some grip on who she is. I have to know that there is a real person that I am sharing my guts with.

I hate that I depend on a therapist to function in life!!!
