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.

Good ideas. My pdoc works in the same clinic as my therapist does; I'm seeing (telehealth) my pdoc more often while T is gone. It's helpful, although for some reason doing (sort-of) therapy with the person who prescribed my meds feels odd.
Because I can kinda see the handwriting on the wall with my therapist, I'm forming a plan to find a second therapist by 2021 - if I even want to continue doing therapy. I'm not sure I do, especially since we're only doing teletherapy in California. Sometimes it feels like the energy drain of therapy is not worth the benefits these days.
