I agree with the others about talking about it with your new T if that is possible.

I wonder if you fear of leaving the old T is not wanting to hurt her or reject her or in some way you are protecting her? Is it like that? I know I've felt like that and it was really hard.

If it's been on and off for several years, can you just look like it's another "off" time and then just not go back. I don't think you owe your therapist the truth, although I imagine it oftentimes wouldn't be as difficult for them to hear as for us to say.

Or maybe you'll learn something and wish you were back with her, and you could just go back "on." You wouldn't have to burn your bridges?
Thanks for this!
