I think it would be a good idea like someone suggested to be up front in your concerns. Because for as long as you consider him your main T, you'll never connect in the same way to any other T and the loss, if it is coming would be made harder by the fact that you lost him not only as a person but you lost your main therapist. Maybe it would be better for you to forge a relationship with another T and allow that to deepen. |
He has always maintained that he does not want to retire, but he is trying to work a slightly shorter week (half day fridays) Most older men die within 5 years after retirement, so he says according to research .
I'm working with a CBT therapist locally and continuing phone therapy with my longtime T. I like my local therapist, but the way he approaches therapy is so different. I worry that it will never be as "deep" as therapy has been with my main T.
CBT T could very well end up my main T if something happens
