Well, I probably COULD find someone closer. But I've been going to this place for so long that I'm one of 2 people have been going there the longest in the entire practice. I've been there so long only the 2 owners and the office manager have been there longer. And I've been seeing this therapist for 9 years. That's too big of a bond to break. Also I'm on Medicare and not many places take this; I get a reduced rate where I go. The other issue is that I refuse to not see a Christian therapist and there aren't a lot of those here. It's better to just go to the city. (And it's nice to have a day that I go to the city and have a chance to go to stores and things that we do not have at all).

Even when I thought my therapist was moving on I was going to continue going to that practice. I'm pretty committed to them because they have treated me so well for so many years. Today's screw-up was not exactly ideal but I can't remember anything similar ever happening so one mistake is forgivable. Just bad timing for the error. I know my therapist has had a low caseload so I hope it is still low-enough that I can get in without having to get out of bed early without sleeping much.
