I think it's very understanding that T1 does a very nice job, and makes a lot of progress, and then the amount of progress slows. T1 has used her very good skills to help you, and you have taken advantage of them. but T1 only does what she knows how to do. Nobody knows how to do everything. Sometimes then a good thing is to find another good therapist who can try a new perspective and different tools.
I had a very bad ending with my prior T despite having made a lot of progress with her. One of the good things to come out of it though was finding a new T who comes from a different perspective (he does IFS, I'm not sure what she did, turns out she wasn't all that trained which showed up big time when things got rough cuz of her issues)
So I don't think consulting with a new T is necessarily a statement that this therapist isn't good enough, or as good. It might be true, but it might not. Could you express your appreciation for the help she's given you, and tell her you want to try something else for a while and hope it would be okay to come back if things don't work out well? or something like that?
