So my nightmare finally is coming true.

He’s going to ease it out and do med management. He’s my first and only therapist. I don’t want another one. I probably need another one but I’d rather avoid the pain that comes with getting attached to a therapist in the first place. I’m cycling through stages of grief. This was not a good time for this. My mom is Dxed with pancreatic cancer and it’s the brca kind and I’m brca pos which makes this impossible to cope with

(((hugs))) I'm sorry this is happening to you, and especially right now when things are really extra hard. It is hard to find a new therapist. It takes a while in my opinion to go through the grief of losing a T especially one that worked well with the client. No real advice just (((hugs)))
Thanks for this!

He said he would do it gradually. Still instead of dealing with my issues at hand I have to deal with the whole new set of problems he gave me. I just wanted support in a tough time, not to tackle my severe trust issues.

So sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else--it's awful and so frustrating. How long of a termination process is there going to be?
Thanks for this!

I’m sorry DYTM.

There’s not much I can think of to say to help, other than I know how you feel, and you will be able to move past it.

I cried for weeks when I terminated with my therapist. It still hurts many months later, but it’s a process and I do feel functional and okay most days.

Yes he does. He was in a situation where there was never a right time and finally told me. He knows I have trust issues and have refused to see a separate therapist in the past. I would complain that it feels like he was trying to get rid of me. So now I know why. Grr.

Also I’m self sabotaging right now cause my appointment is in 8 hours and I don’t want to take Ativan because frankly I wannabe a difficult patient tomorrow to punish him.

I also hope your session goes well today. I hope he can agree to see you a bit longer as a therapist, especially considering all you're dealing with right now.
Thanks for this!

He is willing to see me longer but I’m not. As a pseudo compromise I’m going to monthly med management which will be the length of a therapy session.

I’m so depressed rn.
