My T has been out on medical leave. In February when she offered to refer me to another T while she would be out, I thought that it wouldn't be necessary. A few days after her offer, I changed my mind and I'm glad I did.

Substitute T is a friend of my T so I can get updates on her condition. My T also invited me to email her whenever I'd like to get updates. I've emailed 3 times since February and she's been very open about her treatment and her condition.

In October I'll be faced with an interesting and somewhat uncomfortable change. Luckily and happily my T will be working again. That makes me very happy and I've missed her these last months.

But, now I'll miss substitute T and it's not like when regular T was gone when I knew I'd see her again in a few months.

So, I'll be happy and sad at the same time. I wonder if I can see substitute T occasionally. She's already said we'll discuss the transition.

Anybody else gone through such a situation?

two t's you like... what a lovely problem! lol I'm sorry i know its tough for you. i have been in the situation and I found a way to see them both (for different reasons officially) but insurance pays for both.

if you have to choose just one, though...dont choose old t just bc you feel you should if you prefer to stay with new t. either way im sure theyll both understand.


another situation i had was i was seeing two ts cash pay, i enjoyed them both, but my money was running out. i asked each if they could do a single case agreement with my insurance for me- essentially which of them would be willing to do the extra work- and it took 6 months of no sessions, but eventually one of them did set it up so she could see me, and i am still seeing her now 2 years later.

Oh, I'll definitely return to old T. Dang, I miss her. But, it'd be great if I could see substitute T once in a while. I don't know how that could work so I probably won't see sub T again.

Maybe when your old T goes on vacation?
