DePressMe (fine name by the way...) I can relate ... I go through phases of this myself... just last week as a matter of fact...and I did ask. How difficult.

I am glad that you have had therapists that have been so special to you. I have had two main therapists and they have had their own special charms. My first retired and died... I am sorry for your losses. I know the relationship is special. I suppose I have encouraged my pdoc before to learn more about how to help me. My bad I am sure and things are perking along. I have to respect the therapist that could no longer assist you and told you so.

You seem like such a caring and gentle soul. I feel that you must be a pleasure to work with and a hard worker.
