I'm sorry to read that, Mountaindewed. I remember the frustration you had in the recent past with other therapists. It is unfair, indeed. However, you are correct that your therapist's personal life circumstances lead her to make unexpected decisions. Having to find any new service provider can be hard, but I think needing new therapists or psychiatrists is among the hardest. My hope for you is that after a number of bad luck situations, the next therapist will be a longer-lasting and more secure relationship for you. You do deserve that. But, such is life that situation upsets happen! All of us have them and continue to experience them, periodically, as long as we live.

You, yourself, recognized the progress you have made this past year. We have also noticed. I remember thinking that I would break down when I left my old psychiatrist in the US. But I have survived and even made great strides since. I found a good psychiatrist and therapist when I arrived in CZ. Now I recently moved far north and have to find new ones. It's OK.
