I'm not really around any more, but just wanted to say how gutting it is when a therapist ends things. I had one with the nerve to tell me I wanted to quit (she had some mad gaslighting moves, that one) and then wouldn't schedule me except for a final session--something you didn't even get and that's just all kinds of wrong. When I finally pulled myself together, I was very upfront with a prospective therapist--the only one, frankly, who returned my email and offered a free consultation on the phone. I laid it all out there, and she was still on the phone by the end of it. I was too raw and wounded to start again, so spent the first couple of years wailing about therapy as organized crime and she didn't wither. I wouldn't know what to advise you. Not getting a free consultation is a real racket. How do these people get away with that?
Hang in there.
