Don't feel bad about quitting therapy with her. If she's not helping you, then you don't need her. She works for YOU, so you have the right to fire her.

When my first therapist ended up leaving, I felt "lost", and it took me a week or two to process it all. So, I can say from experience that these conflicting feelings do go away eventually. You just have to give it some time.

My personal recommendation is: don't give up on therapy because of one bad apple. There are plenty of wonderful therapists out there, as you know.
Thanks but I'm too attached, that's the problem. It's either her or nobody. I just can't do it all over again with somebody else.
