Last session with Dramatherapist

Today was her last session with us. It was so hard. I managed until right at the end. We all had candles lit and the lights dim which was nice. She was giving everyone a hug and or a hand shake at the end but I couldn't accepted either as I have a thing about touch.... I so wanted to accepted though. I feel sad cause of this as I really wanted her touch grrr! I know that sounds stupid that I wanted her touch.

Also the lady I befriend died last week and I have her funeral on Monday which I found out today.

It's that sad I waited until my Dramatherapist was leaving and watched her leave the city for good. It was so sad seeing her go. She was ladled with gifts and flowers from the group. I know that sounds crazy too

It's hard to see someone like her leave your life. I sympathize.

Can you keep in touch with a few emls

No cause of the nature of the job.... plus she is moving to a new job. This happened yesterday so today I have had tome to process it and I'm angry at myself for not hugging her grrr! I have to start hugging people as I feel it does me more damage not hugging people? But how do you start to do it without feeling awkward?

I don't think your post sounds crazy at all .... clearly you really got something out of your time with this therapist and that had a positive effect on you, it's natural to feel a sense of sadness when seeing someone important like that go.

I also have a "thing" about touching / hugging people who I don't know very well. I don't even let my parents hug me unless it's a very particular circumstance. I'd say if you're uncomfortable about it then don't feel compelled to force it.

Thanks, I would love to be able to hug someone or let them touch me. I only allow hugging at special occasions like Christmas or other celebrations.

Just found out my Psychiatrist is leaving in May I'm seeing him in April. My Community Psychiatric Nurse just told me. I was in tears.

Can I not catch a break!

When I get back to USA I'll be in same boat as you're in. Plus I've heard my support group is diminishing to just a few people. Boo hoo

It's rubbish Ocean Swimmer!! Too many changes, too many people to say good bye too.

Hey, Miss Laura, good to see you! I remember the previous big change/leaving with your group and how much anxiety you had over it. Change is hard. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. And your Pdoc too?! Yikes. It sure DOES seem we just can't catch a break sometimes!

The hugging thing. I can relate. BF hugs, great. Other people, not so much. If I know them well, and it's something major, that's do-able, though usually still uncomfortable. I'm very much NOT someone who runs around greeting everyone with a hug(!) (Routine "hug & squeal" female greets are a nightmare). Most situations it's either or (I don't have a holiday exception clause, so you're ahead of me there! )

Hugging can be complicated stuff. (IRL. On here, it's all good. I want people to know someone's listening and cares (unfortunately, caring far exceeds writing time availability).
