HUGS Cool.

When former T retired she told me about 3 months before. I immediately began looking for a new T which kind of freaked her out but like what was I supposed to do? I needed help and she was no longer going to be able to give it!


She "stayed" with me until I found a new T which took about two months. Then we had a final session. It was on the phone and this was way before the pandemic she was just too sick to come into the office. I cried my eyes out. She told me she loved me and that this wasn't the end (what the hell) and that everything would work out.


I stayed with new T for a couple of years until I realized she wasn't really helping me. In the meantime former T un-retired. I tried to go back to her but she told me no. So what was all that bother about it not being the end? I called her on that in an email and she basically said she couldn't be the therapist I needed her to be. Again, what the hell.


All I can say is that it is very painful. It does get better. But it hurts like nothing else has hurt before. Sorry to be so disheartening. That is just my experience. YMMV.
