My T is changing jobs... so today she saw me for the last time. She's the first ever who's really "seen" me. I didn't have to explain everything for her to get it. I feel very emotional tonight anxious about how things will turn out with the new T I'll start seeing at the end of next month. To go through difficult things I carry inside with yet another person...

She didn't plan it in advance, but at the end of us doing this mindfulness exercise she gave me one of her bracelets. Why? As a symbol for me to look at, reminding me to go to my internal "safe place".

At the moment I feel so overwhelmed with sadness.

I'm sorry to read you're having to deal with this, SadNEmpty. Personally I have never been able to find the kind of T you describe. So I can imagine that losing her must be a shock. I hope the new T turns out well for you.

I'm sorry you're going through this around Christmas; surly not a good way to end the year. I'll admit that it was good that she gave you a bracelet as a transitional object (I'm assuming).

Sorry for your loss, I know it's got to be tough.

Just remember, the future might hold a therapist or new person who gets you even more. It could be the dawn of new good things .

I am so sorry for your loss. I can imagine what a tough place you are in right now. Hope your next therapist will be as good as this one.

I know how hard that is. I'm still trying to cope with a similar situation and it's really difficult. I am thankful that I found a new t that I was comfortable with right away (as in the first 5 min). I have a lot of conflicting emotions though, as I think this t is going to be better than my old one. It doesn't stop the pain of losing the old t, but I'm comfortable talking to the new one about it. It may not feel like it now, and I didn't believe it either, but sometimes things happen for a reason, and things will be better.
