He left...

Thank you everyone. I emailed with him today after the whole practice winding down issue and he admitted being bur ned out and that he didn't recognize it until our session.

What is not conveyed is that up until last week we were working well and I was making progress. I feel it's my fault for provoking him and that I was too much. I told him how heartbroken I have been left. Let him deal with feeling guilty on it.

I see a new T on Wednesday. Not to replace, just to talk about it. I know myself well enough to know this will have a huge consequence to my life.

I feel so embarrassed at sharing so much of myself with him. I should have known better,

Did he apologize?

This is a difficult time for you , but it is not your fault. Do be kind to yourself and keep posting.

I swing between crying and wanting to call and beg please please don't leave me and then being rational and knowing a T who would abandon me during a very stressful time is not really a T I want and is unhelpful to say the least.

Then there is the part of me that feels overwhelming relief. I get left by people frequently, I was so stressed at times about when he would leave me. I *knew* he would and now he has I feel like I don't need to worry anymore or figure out trust or even work on my issues because I'm validated as right. People always leave.

It's true, people always leave, but that happens to everyone. Relationships end, people move, people die, etc. It happens to everyone and can't be stopped, so don't beat yourself too much about it. This isn't your fault.
