Attachment therapy has been over for a while and the last 2-year has been about responsibilities to aging parents with a standby therapist. I don't have much time for therapy because of commitments. My standby therapist will work ~1-3 years, she's in her late 70s, then I won't get a new therapist.
I do know between her, a previous group therapist and my former attachment therapist I will always be able to get issues discussed gratis. I can phone, email, or invite one to breakfast/lunch. I am hard pressed to believe they would turn me down if they were no longer practicing. They all do things off-hours for current and former clients.
For myself, I can't be bothered with therapeutic frames and protocols after (and somethings during) official therapy has terminated. My last four therapist are older women, many have been at it >50 years, and none believe when therapy is over, they give you a hand shake and say, "I'll see you in the next life."
