DP-Sorry about your situation with the therapist. The whole thing totally sucks. I think the right thing to do would have been to give his clients more time. Honestly though, what I’ve learned over the years the hard way is that it’s every man for himself and nobody truly gives a crap when they are moving on to something else. He is leaving you and probably several other clients a total mess but he’s “checked out”-this part of his life is behind him and he’s starting fresh. It’s very liberating to move onto something new but it’s terrible the way he’s going about it ending with his clients. It’s awful. After my last therapist experience I also vowed to never go back to therapy. That was 2016. I still haven’t gone back and probably never will. I have a couple more bucks in my pocket, I’m not in my head as much as when I was in therapy and I no longer have to deal with any drama that comes from the so called "Theraputic Alliance”. It’s hard to see or imagine it now, but you will slowly start to get over it and it will just go down as one of things that could have been handled differently.
But I am sorry you are struggling so much. It’s painful-I’ve been there.
