I was terminated due to a bad rupture, long story, and that was about 8 months ago. Iīve been searching for a new T since then, Iīve seen about 15 T:s for evaluation. I was about to start therapy with two or three of them but things happened along the road and I found out after a few sessions I didnīt want to continue seeing them.

The old T offered me a session to talk things through after the rupture but I couldnīt handle it and we therefore ended therapy by phone. It was a call just to talk about practical issues around ending therapy.

Before the rupture I felt the therapy was rewarding, I liked, and still like the T. I think of her daily, in the beginning I cried for several hours a day and now later on Iīve realised that I didnīt cry just out of longing for her, I cried because I lost a way to find more of my own self.

I still regret I didnīt see my T for the session she offered and as I felt she understood me and I also knew she partly had had similar problems as myself I feel I would want to start therapy with this T again.

But this T told me she thought I should choose psychoanalysis instead. I went to T:s with a psychoanalytic orientation but that didnīt feel right. I donīt have the money to attend psychoanalysis anyway.

Iīm not angry about the things that was the beginning of the rupture, I just feel it was a real pity that we couldnīt solve things. This T helped me to seek for funds to be able to finance therapy and before the rupture she never talked about ending therapy or not being the right T.

I feel itīs so much at stake, I need therapy and Iīve searched for so long and Iīm now thinking of writing a letter to this T, explaining my situation during the months that have passed and ask her if we can start therapy again.

The hard thing isnīt asking, itīs waiting for an answer that most likely will be "no we wonīt start therapy again". Iīm not at all interesting in seeing her just discussing the rupture and then say goodbye again.

How to reason around this? Is the right thing to "take a chance" and contact her or not?
