Hi folks,

I am wondering if there are people here that left their therapy and therapist for a while or longer because there was no other choice. Not because you wanted to, but because there's no other option. How did you deal with that? Did you continue with your therapy goals on your own? Did you stay in touch with your T somehow?

I am offered a job abroad, that I really want to and have to take. My therapist agrees that this is the best thing for me right now. But I only started therapy 3 months ago and we basically just only figured out what all ails me and where it might come from. (PTSD, Alexythimia and some form of lots of dissociation). We are using the last few sessions to teach me some coping skills and I think T is trying to strengthen my sense of 'it's okay I have these things, life can go on'. But since it's not small stuff or just a matter of changing my behavior they are things I can't work on a lot on my own.

I'm sure that once I'm working fulltime in a new country and keep in mind my pitfalls and avoid them I'll be happy with my life again. The past year was just a pile up of putting myself in situations that triggered all my issues.

Anyhow. I'm already a bit attached to therapy and my T and I just find it scary to leave it all behind. Since I'm moving to a country in turmoil in the middle east, there most likely isn't a T I can visit there.

Any tips and stories are more than welcome!
