After my last therapy with my T. I decided I needed to change to a new therapist, because of her accusations, treating me like a child and accusing me of not being honest. I don't feel I can truley feel free to share without judgement. I called and canceled my appointments and told the group she works for I am not coming back and am seeking a new therapist. I asked to leave a voicemail on her (my T) message and they said nor they would talk to her and someone would get back to me. Overall I feel relieved that I am finished with her and am optimistic about my new therapist. I still feel anger, hurt and a sense of failure with my old T. Should I call and leave a message with her as to why I quit? or should I wait for her to call me. or should I talk to my new therapist (next week) about it. It has been over a week since I quit. Confused

Hi del12!

I would encourage you to go ahead and write down all of your feelings about T, and why you quit. That way you aren't just waiting for someone to call before you express yourself.

Then, next week with the new T, you can bring your notes if you want, and share why you quit with the old T.

Sometimes I find just getting the words out of my head and onto a piece of paper is useful. Otherwise I have a tendency to keep the dialogue about what happened alive in my head.

Hang in there, and I hope the new T works for you!
