@feralkittymom: The therapist has a MD license in the state that she is moving to. The thought of starting all over with another therapist is too much.

And how did she decide to go away for a year? That's quite a long time. I can understand moving for three months or over the summer, but making such a huge commitment to move for one year? She said that she has the intention of returning. She said that she wouldn't even be taking on new patients in that state she is moving to. But who knows what will happen over there during that one year? Maybe she decides to move for good. I'm also angry at the people in her life that's causing her to make the move. She also said that she will be back four times during the twelve months for one week each time. Is that the only consolation? Thanks!
