Any chance you could see a second T??
With long term T many things happened that made me nervous she would retire, she was sick fairly often and moved so she had almost a two hour commute each way. I couldn't image stopping therapy with her but I also feared starting over with somebody else. So while still seeing T1 I talked to T1 about seeing a second T for Emdr. I had read it was really quick therapy. My thought was, I would do a few Emdr sessions with her while still seeing T1. Then when she was ready to retire I would be done with therapy (I did not tell either T about all this). Endr did not end up being the magic fix but I had a good relationship with T2 so when T1 was suddenly not there I was able to transition to T2. It was still hard but better than the alternative.
