In an earlier thread, I shared about the therapist temporarily moving to another state for one year. She is a grandmother to a premature baby, and without telling me much of anything, "the situation changed," so she is temporarily moving for a year.

She said that legally and because of her malpractice insurance, I would have to see someone in-person in addition to continuing our therapy relationship and work through phone and video call. I don't have insurance and am paying her 25 dollars each session and see her 3 times a week. She said that she found another therapist who she thinks is a good match with me, but said that most therapists don't accept 25 dollars and that even most non-profit clinics now start at 50 dollars. The therapist said that I need to sort out my money situation. I'm feeling very bitter and resentful about it.

Something came up in her personal life and is now causing a ripple effect in my therapy work and finances, et cetera. And I'm simply told to figure out my finances. I still want to continue doing a single and a double with the therapist, but how do I pay another therapist on top of that? I know that the therapist is already charging me a low fee for therapy, but given that this is something that came up in her personal life, shouldn't she be making reasonable accommodations to make continuation of our work affordable and possible?

I can't simply throw away our therapy relationship. We do psychodynamic and analytic work; it's not like CBT where you can just start over with another therapist.

And I feel like I need more information as to why the therapist is temporarily moving. "The situation changed." - What changed? It's too ambiguous and uncertain; it doesn't give me a clear enough picture. Previously, she said that she'd give her patients one year notice if she moves to that other state. But now this is one month's notice for a temporary one-year move. And what if during her year long stay, she decides to make a complete move? She said that she has the intention of coming back, but how can I trust her now? When I prompted her about what changed and what prompted the movie, she said it's too much personal information. I think it's only fair that I'm given a better picture; otherwise, all of it seems so uncertain like it's all up in the air.

I'm feeling bitter and resentful about all of this. The therapist and I had everything wired up and going well. And her having to move for her child or grandchild is causing such a ripple effect - and I'm sure not only on me, but other patients as well.
