It sounds to me like you know what you are talking about, Sally. I know you will work through this

I hope your T interviews go well. I'm looking for a new T/supplemental T right now, and I have hesitations about seeing female Ts, too.
Plus, there are just not many therapists out there with whom I connect, and that makes the interview process tedious.
Hey thanks wintergirl. Yeah, I really do think that old T and I *could* work. I am hoping that at some point in the future I can pull it together enough to figure out what I am missing (and also what I could be adding myself) to give it another go. When we're working together, we do REALLY well. REALLY well. Ugggghhh. Which makes me not really excited about interviewing new T's. I hear you about not connecting. It's such an emotionally exhausting process.

SallyBrown,
I really appreciate you telling your story to all of us. I must admit that I am way to tired to write a well written response. I just wanted to tell you that I can only imagine the pain you have experienced with this termination. Having a t in your life for 5+ years and with the frequency of your session is very intense and a huge part of your life. Ending that is a big loss. Be gentle with yourself.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
