Thanks, gimmieice.
Simcha, thanks for sharing your reasoning. No, I haven't discussed this with my T yet. What is she going to say really? As you say, I have to decide it for myself. It's my life and I'm the one who will suffer the consequences of my choices.
Being totally honest, I guess one thing I think about is whether I'm considering moving as a way of pushing therapy/my T away because I have felt upset at her lately. It's complicated. But I guess I feel like, it's a professional relationship, it will end at some point anyway, so why not end it now. And for a good reason - my career is a perfectly good thing to focus on.
But if I were doing it on some level to sort of get back at her, yes, I would agree with you that I wasn't ready/still had more to learn from our work together. I don't know. It's a difficult time for me in therapy right now, always feeling like walking away, so maybe that is playing a role.
Anyway, thanks for the support in my decision. It's nice to hear an outside perspective.
Sunrise, I appreciate your perspective on finding a new T. I think I remember you saying something similar in another post, about having the interaction with the new T you like. That is helpful to me to think about -- maybe it's not this one particular T that's so important, maybe I could find someone else to play a similar role in my life if I felt like it was helpful to me. On the other hand, I still think it will be rare to find really skilled, empathetic, person that I can connect with. And then it takes so much time for me to do so. I don't even know if I would consider trying it all out again with someone new in a different city.
Lots to think about. What's best for me and my future, since my life has to be about more than therapy. Luckily, it's not urgent, I have some time, I just need to figure out what my path should be. Thanks for the thoughts.
