how would you handle a T ending your therapy, due to their personal situation, i.e job move, location move etc? bearing in mind you werent ready to end the therapy and were extremely dependant....? if you got offered a few more sessions to work it through the ending, would you want to go to them, or would you leave the T before they leave you?
how do you handle it? |

I haven't had to make this decision, but I think I would take the extra sessions because I know I would need them.
And I wouldn't end therapy because T was leaving, I would continue to give myself the gift of therapy. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Do you think you'll take the few more sessions? (Or are you wanting to retaliate in some way by refusing them?) |

My therapist left me too. She got a job working with kids. After she told me she saw me two more times before she left, on the last one I ask who she would recommened and of to her new job. You will probally have this illness for the rest of your life, so you will probally see a few diff. T. When they are going to leave, don't get into something that is deep. Wait till next one. Take care,

Since this event could trigger the essence of your disorder...abandonment,,I would certaily continue the therapy,,ask her for recommendations on replacement(she should be providing this without asking) and focusing on the "real" reasons for this event..
It is not personal...it is not your fault... With care, Lenny

I have walked away from therapists that made me mad or scared me, and I can understand wanting to reject your T before he or she has the chance to abandon you. Isn't that what we keep doing over and over in real life too? But I hope that you will give yourself the chance to find another T who can help you to finish your healing. If you quit now it would be hurting you much more than the T. Yeah, I think I would cling to those last few offered sessions, and maybe ask what if I refuse to leave. But I would accept what is offered.
