I badly miss my t. I feel like she is the only person who got to understand me as a person, and was the first one to actually help me think. Think in the right way, question my core beliefs and gave me a better insight into myself. She fought for me to get more sessions with her and she was easy to talk to.
Maybe its because I'm having a tough time at the moment?
Now I've just got a mental health nurse who is nice but she is not there to help me in the same way.
I've never missed a t before. It's strange.

Not at all. It would be strange if you didn't. It's natural to miss and grieve someone you were close to, therapist or otherwise. Even though you were ready to end, it's still a big loss and that needs grieving for.
Thanks for this!

I think that's the problem, I wasn't ready to end. It was time limited sessions. She wanted me to be rereffered, but they got the community mental health team involved instead.
Hmmm. Maybe thats why I miss her, because she was the only one that really helped and now they are trying to find me another therapist, and I don't know if I will be able to trust them like I trusted her. And trust is something that doesn't come easily as most of you probably know.

I think of my therapist as the keeper of all my secrets. It makes him pretty important to me. He is the one who can really hear me and get it well enough to give me useful suggestions on what to do with it all. I had a great therapist where I used to live and I miss him terribly. I saw him for about 6 years and he really got me. That's special. Not even my wife gets me like he did. He never judged, never made me feel worse about myself. How can we not miss that? It is a sad feeling, I hope you feel better soon. Like I said, I miss my therapist from the past, but I have to look at it as a gift. He gave me a lot of great tools and I was lucky to know him. Now, I've moved on. I wish you well. (BTW, just started with a new therapist and he seems pretty cool, too).

I think it's perfectly natural to miss anyone you used to see regularly.

It's not a bad thing. I think the ideal time to end is when you can carry that understood and supported feeling with you into the rest of your life. Otherwise ending can be pretty tough!
