She's right. She shouldn't making promises about never leaving, about always being there. Life doesn't work that way as much as we'd like it to. Her intentions were probably honorable at the time; she wanted to give you reassurance. But no one in this life can make that promise. I mean, I can't even make that promise to my husband or children or vice versa. Things happen. Usually unexpectedly.

It doesn't mean people don't want to be there forever; it doesn't mean they intend to leave. But it happens. Life happens. Change happens. In all relationships. That doesn't mean we can't trust. It just means we have to understand that life is unpredictable and messy at times. I trust the people in my life to treat me with respect and caring. I trust they won't intentionally cause me harm. But does that mean they will never make mistakes? Does that mean what they hoped to be able to do won't change? No.

It doesn't sound like your therapist set out to cause harm, but she realized she may have made an error and is trying to correct that error as best she can. You can certainly seek out another therapist, but understand, no therapist can make you the promise to never leave and truly mean it. It is unrealistic.
