Write his name on the bottom of your shoe. Seriously, it helps. Walk, run, kick. Know that he is dirt beneath your feet.

In these situations we want an explanation. Why? But would the explanation or apology be enough? Would it change the outcome? Sadly, it doesn't. For me, it took about 18 months to fully recover. I did not try to contact my former T in any way after being abruptly terminated. Didn't make a fuss with his supervisors or file a complaint. It would not have changed the outcome for me. He was wrong and I didn't need his licensing board to confirm that fact for me. The end result is that you have to grieve this terrible loss and find a way to move on. Not today but take steps in that direction.

I would not put a lot of energy into thinking that a number of closure sessions will change any of this for you. It most likely will not happen anyway.

A poster above said that Ts should stop promising that they will always be there. Amen to that. It is just unrealistic. They mean it until they don't mean it - something changes in their life and they are out.

Therapists have a way of justifying their behavior while calling you out on yours. No other profession gets away with this *****. Well, politicians, maybe.
