That seems so incredibly irresponsible to me!
Have you tried looking up the new T that she's referring you to (online to see if he has a website, or on one of the "therapist finder" sites)? That might at least give you a little information about him, to see if it's worth talking to him (whether you think you could work with him).
But - have you actually left your old T? At this point, if it were me, I'd be running right back to old T! Assuming old T has been helpful, supportive, and you have a good relationship, I don't think I'd want to give that up (just my personal opinion). If you need extra help, specifically around trauma, it seems like it would be helpful to find a trauma T that is able to work with your therapist? Even if you eventually end up moving to a (different) trauma T - I'd think it would be helpful to have a transition... where you maybe "taper off" from your old T, so they're able to support you as you move over?
I don't know, just some thoughts, but that new trauma T.. that would be a major red flag to me (not that she wanted you to not see your T, but that after that she tried to refer you). The whole thing just feels... unstable to me. And for trauma therapy, you really need something stable that you can count on!
Good luck, *hugs*!

Yes the trauma T told me I had to leave my current T. Then she said she wasn’t available when I was told she was. So she referred me to a guy in the same practice. I am still on my current T’s schedule and she gave me some referrals. This is all very stressful. Current T says she wants to keep seeing me until I am with someone new for a few sessions. She wants to make sure it is a good fit for me and that she doesn’t leave me hanging.
