Just because you don't need a specific T anymore, doesn't make it a bad thing. And like I mentioned before, a good T will leave the door open even if the client needs to move one.

I know T has left her door open for me. And L will do the same when my time with her comes to an end. I HATE thinking about it. I HATE chamge, and I always get extremely attached to most my Ts. I think I'm most attached to L, so it's going to be really hard when it's time to leave her.

Thanks, Scarlet. Dr. T has said before that if a client leaves, they're always welcome to come back. So I wonder if maybe I need to go do some relational/inner child work with someone, then maybe return to him? I don't know...
