My T is leaving the current practice for another job. I am kind of stuck now, next week is my last appt with her and I am not sure how to take this. I am being transferred to a new t who I have seen before. She (the new t) is very nice, but it's not the same. She doesn't know me like my old t. I am hoping that this transition goes smoothly. I'm just very upset and anxious at the same time. Why is this such a difficult problem for me? It really should be easy. I'm just seeing a new person to talk to right? How has anyone else handled this?

I had to move so I'm getting a new T ,it's scary. New T 's not going to automatically trust me. I won't automatically trust her. She won't know me even if she has my file. So many "what if's " I think it's hard to change but it'll be okay. When do you see new T?

I've never been able to afford T, but I've switched pdocs a few times and it IS hard in the beginning for both sides to trust, but as long as you're honest with them, the trust will build. My pdoc really trusts me now and I value the relationship.
