I have a great therapist who I have been seeing for several years. He is very helpful generally, and has helped me a lot.

But I have one area he's not great with, regarding a physical health problem I have been having. I have just made an appointment to talk to another therapist specifically about moving past this health problem - it's her area of speciality, and she has personal experience with it.

I am hoping to maybe see her something like 4-6 times, to develop a road map for navigating this thing. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone might have any advice for such a situation. Or maybe I am just looking for validation - I am feeling slightly guilty that I am seeking other help, though I have been quite explicit with my current therapist about how overwhelming I am finding this area of concern, and I know he would understand if I chose to tell him (which I may do - I just haven't decided yet).

I don't know! Can anyone relate? Part of me thinks I should just end it with my current therapist, but I still have other stuff I'm working on with him and he really is excellent in almost all areas of our work together, and I find his support extremely helpful generally. I just need a fresh perspective and help with this one (large and life-changing) problem.
