My therapist is 77 and I'm 37. I wanted an older woman because my mother died when I was young and I have many issues to work out around that and I welcomed the mother-transference that I knew would come with having an older woman T.

My problem is that because of my T's age and my experience with losing my mother, I worry all the time that my therapist will get sick and die, or that she will retire. I've told her about this and she assures me that she's in perfect health and has no plans to retire any time soon.

Does anyone else worry about their older T?
