Missing old T

I am really missing my old T tonight. I am not sure why I feel so down about T moving an hour away when I haven't seen him since April anyway. One would think that 5 months is enough to move on. My new T is nice enough and graduated from the same University I am go to, so two thumbs up for her. I know I am babbling but just really sad.....

It makes sense. You experienced a loss. Big hugs!

Hugs to you.... the waves of missing come and go for me, and it's been years!

I miss my old Therapist some times as well, btw we have something in common becuase my current Therapist also went to the same University I did.

It is nice to have a lot of things in common with a T sometimes. My old T was like talking more to a buddy. We spent more time laughing and telling jokes than anything else. I also got to the point where I was too dependent on him and needed him to help me make decisions. I don't ever want to be that needy again. It is starting to fade with the neediness but the missing him part really sucks.

I think/miss my T that I had 14 yrs ago! I regret not telling him everything. I don't think of him as often as my current T at this point because the things that he said are now ingrained. Look at you missing T as processing and ingraining your whole time with your T. It is going to take lots of time, more time then the length you we're with that T, it sucks but it's okay.

You are not alone

I am not looking forward to that much time but it is what it is and that is all we can do. I know eventually I will move on. I bawled my eyes out last week a couple times.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and words.

I still really miss my favorite T and it's been a few years.

I miss my old T at times and it has been several years now; so missing your old T makes a lot of sense to me I hope you are gentle with yourself as you process the change in therapists

I miss my old therapist too. I've been away for a year! I think it's normal and okay. I've recently experienced something that has been a outright trauma for me.

He was very good at helping me to reframe it, or at least deal with it.

Makes sense to me. I miss my previous T, and I haven't seen her in 18 months. In fact, last night I was in a place where I thought, if I could just be with her it would all be okay. Hang in there. You are not alone.

I really miss him now.....things fall apart and I get really sad then.

I miss mine from 15 years ago too... I never really said good bye. I was frustrated and just stopped going. I wish I could tell her I'm ok and why I stopped going. This is one of the biggest regrets in my life. I'll never make that mistake again.
