I definitely believe I was meant to meet and start working with my current therapist when I did.

I was working with my long term therapist (LT) when one day it hit me I should start seeing and Emdr T. I feared LT would retire and I would be left without her and still need therapy. I didn't tell her my fears just that I thought it was time.I had a consult with another T and it was horrible. I was afraid to try somebody else. My med manager offered to refer me to someone she worked with, I declined. LT encouraged me a few times to consider trying again. I talked to med manager who told me about current T BUT said sbe had given her notice at the clinic. She was going into private practice but to watch psychology today.

I nervously decided to give her a try. She was amazing. When LT died suddenly after seeing current T for 10 months, I relized just how fortunate I was. The horrible consultant T retired just a few months after the death. Had I seen her I would have lost both Ts. Had I not gotten the sudden idea to see someone else I would would have been left to deal with the grief alone. I struggled so much and had an amazing T. I can't image going it alone.
