I think a large problem in this is that it isnīt something T:s generally speak about in their presentations on their web sites and so on. In my country Iīve never read about a T who specilizes in helping clients through a rough time because of termination.
I have no idea if my potential T Iīll see in some months will be able or even agree to talk about a former T and a former therapy. Probably she wonīt as she work within public mental health care. I donīt know how to cope with the grief as it isnīt like grieving a relative or friend.

One thing that helped a bit was having my minister there to listen. She was support that was NOT a therapist, which helped a lot. She listened, was there when I cried, hugged me and told me I'm still loveable.
The next therapist I had I saw for over 5 years and stopped seeing her in the spring of this year. She broke my heart and shattered me. I have a bunch of posts about it because it put me into a bad crisis. I took an overdose and ended up in the hospital and have barely been coping.This time, talking with my new one has been helpful. She has been helping me stay safe. |
