I am so sorry! Is there a timeline? Is it far enough in the future that you will have time to work through it with him? Will he give you a referral to another therapist you would work well with? I am SO ATTACHED to my T that I really thought I could never work with anyone but him (he is my first too). But after I saw the family T last night, I realized that I really could work with her, too. It opened my eyes to the fact that my T is not actually the "ONE" T I could ever work with, although I do love the work we do together. Sending many hugs!

Time, sorry that must be hard. I hope you find someone that can help you through this.

A good T will help you with the transition, and coping strategies to get through the loss. Also see if T will give you a referral to someone new and transfer any notes that they have so that you can have a relatively seamless transition to someone new.
Good luck.

Thank you Earthmama, Mouse and Splitimage,
I do have a couple of sessions and hope to work this through. I guess it is really up to me, I need to be accepting of someone new, but, I just don't think I can do it right now. Going through the getting to trust you thing again is just really stressing me out.

I'm sorry t is leaving =( that would be hard. I have done the "get to know t" thing 5 times now. But I always left... not t.

Thank you kiya,
I have just realised over the last couple of weeks that I was actually becoming attached to the whole T process. The thing is I don't think I have ever been this attached to anything for such a long time. I am kind of lost in a way. Or I have just realised that without my rules I actually don't know who I am anymore. T has helped me see this. It's scary not knowing that T will be there to help me rediscover me. Does it normally feel this messy when T terminates?
