Great job! You went with what you were feeling and communicated it with her without burning future bridges you still may want with her and it gives you an option to T shop if you want or just take a break from therapy after you end it with the other therapist. You handled it very well.

She said to go with my gut and she thinks that's a good plan for me, but her door is open if I want to come back. Easy as that. I felt a bit bad about it, but I think it was the right thing for me. And she was really supportive of my decision...so maybe this will be a good thing and I will have some space to resolve stuff and finish off well with old T before rushing into a new therapeutic relationship, whether with this T or someone else. Maybe I can just focus on right now and whatever happens in the future will happen when it happens...
