I saw the same therapist for almost 10 years, then he switched jobs to an administrative position about 8 months ago to be closer to home and avoid long commutes. It made me really sad at the time, but now that I've found a new therapist, I realized that this change was a really good thing.
I stopped going to therapy for 6 months. Gradually, I disintegrated emotionally. I have almost put myself in the hospital a few times. I still feel close to doing that now.
I tried a local psychologist, but I felt like he was a very dismissive clock-watcher. I went twice to see him, but was very uncomfortable with some techniques he wanted to try on me. I never went back.
I found a new female counselor who's a bit of a drive from where I live, but I already feel like I'm making progress in areas that my long-term therapist didn't understand. So I'll be seeing her for my 3rd appointment next week.
