Today after our session my therapist told me she got a job some place else. She'll start there in April. This came as quite a schock to me. But then she told me that I could ''go'' with her. I could stay in therapy with her at the new place she'll be working. The only thing is that it isn't close. She said that I should think good about what I want. If I want to stay at the same plave, then I'll be getting a new therapist.
The new place is about a 50 minute drive by car. And with public transport it's about 1.5 hour.
She'll be working there for 5 months, replacing someone who's on pregnacy leave. And after that she'll be going to another place. That place isn't that far.
I don't want another therapist. I want to stay with her. I don't know for how long I'll still be needing therapy. It isn't like I can't ''live'' without her. I went about 1.5 year without seeing her. That was because she went on pregnacy leave, and I had something with school. And then I kept putting it off to call for starting therapy again, while I really needed it. But she has been the only therapist who understood me, my feelings and problems. She's the only one who was able to help me reduce my anxiety. And if there's anyone who can help me to become less depressive, it's her. I had lots of diferents therapist before her. None of them seemed to understand me. And I'm afraid that it won't click with a new therapist, and that he/she won't understand me as my current therapist does. Even thought they all work at the same place.
So I rather stay with her. Even if I have to drive 50 minutes to there and back again.
It isn't weird to drive 20 minutes to see a therapist? It would only be once a week, and maybe after some time it will probably be every other week.
I always had therapy in a city near me. (Except for the time I was in therapy for 5 days a week and also lived in this house with my group members.)
I should probaly also discuss this with my parents. If I can borrow the car, then I could stay with her.
