If you're questioning what's ethical and what's abandonment, that's up to the board and/or courts to decide.

My ex-T terminated with me, I feel, was unethical and abandonment. Many many others have agreed. But when I reported her to the board, they didn't agree and they didn't tell me why. There are many stories on these forums of unethical Ts or Ts who have abandoned their clients. That is why I bring up courts/board of psychology.

I didn't include L's "backup" plan. Her professional partner is who would be contacting me if anything happens to her. L and I have already agreed I'd go back to T for therapy if something happened. And if/when she goes on vacation and someone is available, I have my choice of T, a colleague, or an ex-group T. I'm lucky to have T as backup.

Both T and L know what I went through with ex-T and I trust it is never their intention to abandon me. Both have proved to be honest and dependable. I am lucky to have both of them.

ETA: It's up to the courts or board to decide if you wish to take action against your T.
