I tried to respond once but the quoting didn't work right. Sigh.

So to your first question - I didn't actually beg, but I was about an eighth of an inch away from it when my t told me she was moving to another state. The only thing that stopped me from falling to the floor and grabbing her leg and begging her to stay was that she agreed we could do phone sessions. We've been doing phone sessions for over 2 years now.

I remember the appointment when she told me she was moving, she said "I'm not abandoning you." I said YES YOU ARE! through my tears. Talk about acting like a little kid throwing a tantrum. Not my finest moment!

That fear of being abandoned is so gut-wrenching. Talking about it helps, definitely. I hope your t is back soon. Sending good thoughts your way!
