I told her that when I started my transition I became super clingy and wanting her attention all the time and that I just couldn’t keep doing it anymore. I told her it was my fault not hers and she helped me out a lot for a long time. She was super nice about everything. I thought she’d get upset. She said it was nobody’s fault and these things happen. But we figured out a plan and I’m going to switch to another therapist in the town I’m moving to as soon as possible. My state is still doing video sessions so it will be ok to switch to someone that far away.

It took many months of denying to myself and being depressed and procrastinating before I was able to tell her it really wasn’t working anymore. She said it was brave of me to tell her these things.

I thought I’d be all down in the dumps but I actually feel a lot of relief. Because I was holding in so many things for so long.

She has me on her schedule for next week, but if another therapist can get me in, then that’s ok too.

It sounds like the session went well. I'm glad you feel relief about it. I've generally felt relief when telling T's about transference as well.
