Well, technically, I'm moving to somewhere this week, but I haven't the slightest idea where yet. But at least I know I'm not going to move more than 10 or so miles away. I applied to a bunch of grad schools based on what I need musically, financially, and academically. All of them are at least a six hour drive away from where I live currently. The idea of moving far away makes me so nervous, I feel ill. I don't want to lose my weekly/bi weekly hugs from LCM and I'm scared of calling this T back after a few months, start EMDR, get attached, only to move in 6 months.

LCM says she thinks all of this is just an excuse because I'm terrified of actually confronting my trauma in a meaningful way. She's probably right. Is it worth it to start doing this now (after I figure out where the hell i'm going to live next week) and risk losing this new T in half a year?
i think you can do a lot in 6 months. personally im going to see a T who is leaving in 7 months to canada- I think we can do meaningful work while also preventing a psychotic attachment like I had with my old T. less about relationship and more about the work.
