I put the trigger icon on because lately it seems that Ts are leaving or terminating some posters and many are having a hard time right now. It's a difficult topic to think about.

My DBT T told us that she is leaving in 4 weeks and we're getting someone else. She said it's hard on her because our group is unusually motivated and she feels close to us. She wanted reactions. There are only 3 of us who have been in the group for over 6 months.

I feel a little sad because I like the T leader and feel like I could talk to her if I need to. I don't like changes. She knows my history and someone new won't. I only have a few months left in the second cycle and then I'll stop, but still, I wish we could keep the same leader.

What is triggering me about the situation is my thinking "what if it were my T who said that she was leaving in 4 weeks?" I'd be devastated! It's not the same with my DBT T even though we have a small group. I am curious about that. I'm attached to my T so I didn't need to have that feeling for DBT T. Or maybe because it's a group, not really therapy. I will miss the group, the people in it, when it ends.

I don't know. Another group member seemed a lot more upset than I am. It's weird. I guess I can't "love" more than 1 T at a time. I just worry how I'd cope if it were my T, not my DBT T.
