If I'm being as intimate as I possibly can in therapy with one T, I'm not going to have anything left to share with the other T.

So, it may not be ideal in the arena of focused intimacy but let's say you're faced with the situation I'm describing - your current T is moving far enough away that it becomes a hardship to visit him weekly.
Do you just accept a less frequent contact with him without the support you're used to on a weekly basis or do you just dump him and start fresh with a new T?
Personally, I don't know how I'd do it. I'm very attached to my current T and to quit seeing her completely would be very difficult. Maybe a monthly visit to her would be a method to not grieve the loss of seeing her while attaching to a new therapist. idk
