When my T left me, I had to depend on the county to help me. And they did. My group facilitator and Pdoc all stepped up and I even met a really nice counselor. The first T I interviewed was nice, but not what I was looking for. New T was exactly who I was looking for. But if I wasn't looking or wasn't open to having someone new in my life, I wouldn't have found new T.
I know you already have a T, but maybe there's more quality people out there. Ones who will appreciate you and won't take advantage of you. If you found one person, you can find another. And maybe that is what's missing for you to heal. You need that support and encouragement and validation irl, on top of what you get from here.

Thanks. I am starting to realise a huge part of this is that I miss feeling deeply appreciated and cared for. I used to have that in my marriage but H hasn't been the same man since a huge bereavement a couple of years ago, he's angry and frustrated at the world now and doesn't have much time for my feelings.
I like my current T and I like working with him, but he doesn't fill that particular hole for me. There's more to my feelings towards T1 than that, but I do miss how worthwhile he made me feel.
