I think my trauma therapist has abandon me. She went on Holidays a month ago for 2 weeks. She did not tell me until she was away on vacation. We texted a few times and i felt okay but very anxious and depressed.

Last week I texted her again im allowed to check in with her and it felt so different she seemed very distant by text. I think im too much for her. I think she has abandon me.

Early in 2002 til 2009 I got extremely attached to a therapist and out of the blue she terminated me. I think this is happening all over again. The pain i feel hurts, however im ready to move on to another therapist if it's true my therapist has abandon me.

Hi, Cheryl, I hope when you explain all this to your next therapist, she will promise that won't happen again.

Do you think you might be making some assumptions here? If she hasn't terminated you and is responding when you contact her, why do you think she has abandoned you?

Yes I think im making assumptions and have been for a few days? I think im relying on past experiences and letting my anxiety get to me. I know my therapist has been away and not avalible as much as I would like her to be and it makes me feel selfish for needing her. I think i need to tell her how i feel and try to work through these feeling.
