{{{Stormy & Littles}}}.......I agree that it was inappropriate for her to now decide that decisions made in the past were a mistake. This does nothing to help your transition and that should be her only concern. NOT looking for ways to make you feel that your reaction to her retirement is not normal.

I have been thru a retirement with a t. It was difficult & sad. But I think we had a very successful termination and it was handled well. I continued to see him for a couple of months to bring things to a close and it helped me to say good-bye. During this same time, I started with a new t and also saw him. So, as I was going thru the last sessions, I was also developing a new relationship and he was helping me feel less like I was being abandoned. By the last session, I was sad, but felt comfortable and safe w/my new t. I didn't feel like I was just drifting around alone. I don't know if this is an option for you, but having a relationship already developing with my new t. made so much difference for me.
