My therapist recently took on a new full-time job elsewhere. I am part of her private practice. Since I started with her up until till 2 weeks ago (a time of bout 8 months) I think she only had a few private clients and took on work here and there so I've been a bit spoiled in how accessible she is to me. If I needed her she would respond really quickly with a text or phonecall, she would be able to see me mostly any day if I needed it.

Now with this new job of hers, that availability isn't there anymore. Between 9 and 5, she won't be able to help me. This new place dictates when she takes holidays and how long for. I just feel like her new job has taken her away from me, which is really silly because she'll still respond to me at night and also if I need an extra session she'll fit me in at the weekend. I hate her new job and I resent her new clients. I feel like they come first, her new job is a huge part of her life now , I feel squashed in.

I know I'm being a brat about this and really the change is no different to how any T would manage her workload and that my T does see me as a priority too but I can't help how I feel. I feel like she's really far away from me now. And I know I don't need to look after her needs but I don't like the idea of her working all day and then me demanding time from her in the evening or at weekends and I can't help trying to look after her needs for rest and relaxation it just comes natural to me.

I didn't contact her outside of session all last week, mostly because I was Ok without her but also because the few days that I did want to speak to her I felt like I shouldn't and I just felt so far away from her, like she had never existed. I just don't like this new arrangement. ( Do I sound 5 years old? lol )
