went to c t this week while sitting in the waiting room. there was a guy complaining bc they were real slow that day. Then this woman came out and was talking to this lady and told her that her case worker told her by Oct 1st that many clients will have different therapist bc some are quitting or get better jobs at the office. The lady said her case worker said it was bc of obamacare so I ask my t and she dodge question only thing she did say was that they were 10 therapists had apply for a better full time paying job with company and insurance was one reason

so now I'm scared of losing my T

Hard to tell. People change jobs for more money or security all the time and I'm sure the health care industry is shifting as a result of all the Obamacare changes. I am not certain what you asked your T? I would let her know you would like to continue to work with her.

It does not sound, from what you say, like she is leaving but if there is a lot of shuffling going on in the agency where she is it may be a scheduling or caseload situation that she has no control of and doesn't know how it will work yet because they haven't told her so she isn't able to tell you yet.

Obamacare is a convenient scapegoat for a great many things.

My personal experience has taught me that when there is a great deal of personnel turnover in a business of any sort, there is generally in internal problem going on within/among employees/management/philosophy, etc.

Obamacare is also completely changing a lot of our healthcare and not always in good ways , so I wouldn't use the word "scapegoat" in all cases...

For those of you guys worried about Obamacare. Trust me, I'm Canadian. You want universal health care. It's not perfect, but nothing is.

My dad has already lost 10 hours a week at work because his employer doesn't want to have to offer healthcare to people who are working full time.

And I personally have awesome healthcare at the moment.

I think that you should try and not ruminate on this too much. It's out of your control whether or not your therapist leaves, and so I wouldn't waste too much energy thinking about it. Try talking to your t about it and let him/her know that you would like as much notice as possible if they do end up leaving, that way you have time to wrap things up and have a good termination and transition to a new t.

I do think thought that your t is not going to leave you hanging, He/she will most likely recommend someone else for you to see, and help you wrap things up in a good way. They are trained to help end relationships and so hopefully all will go smoothly.

Again these are all things to talk to your t about. I wouldn't freak out until you know that he/she is really leaving.

I pay $125 for my husband and I a week for my health insurance and my health insurance pays out more than that a week for my therapy! They are not happy with me. Tough.....my employer is contracted with them for UNLIMITED therapy sessions. They call my T every 6 weeks asking for an update on my therapy goals. They want me down to one session a week, they want me to see a psychiatrist(I refuse).

I am soooooo getting my money's worth.
