I have 3 sessions left!!! I'm devastated. I ended up crying in session today and feel terrible cause I know my therapist is leaving to look after her partner. But it really hurts. I hate endings and I struggle to get through them. I end up a crying wreck. I've been like this my whole life. I think I got too attached to her?
Do you think it's appropriate for me to give her flowers? I have a card for her. I'm seeing another therapist from possibly June. I've been with my therapist for 6 years. So I have a long history with her. How do I combat my feelings? Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk |

I just got a new case manager. The old one was just an interim case manager and I thought I’d have her until my old cm got off maternity leave but nope- I was assigned to this new person that I’ve seen in person only once. She seems okay. She’s quite young. I just got attached to the interim cm and she was very good at her job. Also a few months ago I had to switch psych nurse practitioner for my medicationnneeds and she seems to be good. I had also had my previous psych n.p. Leave after about 6 years too. It was hard but she called me to say a proper good bye which was nice of her. She left after deciding to take care of her aging mother. So I can understand how you might be sad. Give your new therapist a chance. This might be even better than your last one.

It is so hard to lose a trusted doctor or therapist. When my old pdoc retired, I was devastated. She had been my doctor over 10 years. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. It was so hard even though I knew she had been such a hard worker and conscietous doctor and deserved to enjoy her retirement. I have a new pdoc now; well, I say new, but he's been my pdoc since 2018. He's a great doctor, but somehow, I don't have quite the same attachment to him as I did to my old pdoc.
I don't think a card and flowers is overdoing it for a therapist you really like. I know how you feel; I hate endings too. Hopefully, your new therapist will be wonderful as well.
