You get another one and start the same cycle all over again?

Same as above. It was absolutely heartbreaking and I grieved for her as if she had actually died. However, it's been 3 years now and I can say it gets easier. I probably wouldn't have believed that when the hurt was so fresh, though. So sorry for your loss.

Yes, I found another T but I'm seeing her less frequently, no contact between sessions, and trying to not get attached in any way. I want help but I don't want to go through that heartbreak again. I'm trying to protect myself in the relationship, so I have no idea if therapy will work this way or not. My former T did so much for me and I grew so much, but her leaving me almost killed me. Kit

I can see how therapy works for people, I really can. I just think some people (myself) it seems unfixable so I don't see the point in trying anymore, 1 step toward, 2 back kinda thing. I wish you all the best though |

I'm so sorry. I had a T terminate me at one point, because after a year he realized that he wasn't able to help with my issues (I got the whole "it would be unethical for me to continue seeing you" speech - which just felt absolutely insane to me.)
It was really hard, even though I wasn't that attached! Stirred up lots of abandonment feelings, and feelings like I was "too much" (which I still struggle with). I was lucky, I was on my way to grad school - so was starting a new, busy life. I focused on that. I've tried other therapists, but still haven't found any that really click with me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point... it's really frustrating. Did you have a final session? Were you able to talk to them about how this feels? For some people, that seems to help - to be able to express the anger, disappointment, sadness, and whatever else you're feeling and to get some closure, maybe? *hugs* |

How are you doing, OP?
My T is officially gone and it sucks. I was ok for like half a day but now I'm miserable and I only picture him, happy and heck, moved on and I'm nothing __________________ Grief is the price you pay for love. |
