I saw my T for the last time last night. She is moving out of state next week.
I've already found a new T that I like, but I still feel really sad about losing my old T. I'm not mad at her any more, just really sad.
The last meeting was a little strange ... the only thing she had in her office were a few chairs, her laptop and a clock. Nothing else

I would be also catnip. I dread the day when we will have to end therapy. I tried so hard not to like him lol. Tried even harder not to need him. He is like the parents that I always wanted /needed. Therapy is so hard you get used to the caring and help and sometimes the nurturing knowing it will come to an end. I hope your new T will be awesome for you. Big hugs
Thanks for this!

It seems like several of us on the forum are in the process of closing out with our current therapists . I have three more appointments scheduled with mine before she leaves in June, though with my work schedule, I might not be able to make all three.

It's a sad process indeed.

I have a little under two months left with my therapist. Its ok to feel sad. All of your feelings are ok and normal. Its a tough thing to go through. Unfortunately everyone will come to this end with there T. I just thought I would have more time. I know how painful it is. I am sorry you are going through it as well. Its seems to be very common on this board right now. Are you able to process this with your new T?

Sending you hugs if you want them!
Thanks for this!

Catnip I bet that was really strange, especially with the room bare. You are right to be sad. Make sure that you do try and work it through with the new one, and that you take the time that you need. I know I will need a fair bit and I haven't been seeing mine that long.

Pleased for you that you have managed to find one that you like. Hope it continues to work out.
Thanks for this!

Yes, my new T is helping me to process this. The 1st goal was to get through the final appointment with my old T. I thought it might get better after that, but so far today I feel worse. I'm having trouble trying to concentrate on anything at work today. All I want to do is to go home, snuggle with my cat and go to sleep.
Thanks for the hugs!

Next week is my last appointment with T. She's going on maternity leave. I have a new T already. But I really didn't want to start over again. The following months would be difficult due to exams and other stuff and now I also have T's leave on top of that, while I thought she would help me get through this difficult months.
I feel really angry at T. And disappointed. Also sad and anxious. I'm feeling more low.

When the last session is finished, I think I will be feeling very bad.

Starting over again is hard. My new T talked with my old T to help get up to speed more quickly. It's hard to think about trusting someone new when you feel like you were abandoned by the old one
