I called my T and said I'm not coming back (she was away for 3 weeks and I had to decide during that time if I want to see her or not). I feel strange now. And I'm about to zone out. Can't let that happen because i'm at work now. Sorry, just ranting.

Are you upset that you quit your T?
If so, were you not ready to quit? Are you going to see another T instead?

Rant away!

I dont know if I'm upset, i'm not good at things related to feelings. I thought i'm ready, maybe i was wrong, i just don't know anything now. It is not a case when all problems are solved and you say goodbye, I left in the middle of the thing, i thought i can handle it. Her schedule, my schedule, i don't have a car which makes it hard to get to the place and a lot of other things got in the way.

Are these some issues you could talk to T about before you quit? If you have doubts...... maybe it is not the right time to quit.......
It sounds like it is an inconvenience to get to T and fit it in the schedule - but if it is going to help wouldn't it be worth the trouble?

I'm sure it is hard for you that your T is away for so long......I hope you will give it another try when she returns. Or at least have a few sessions so you can wrap up the things you were in the middle of and maybe even figure out a plan for going forward.....

Take care ((((((((((((3velniai)))))))))))))))))

I had to leave work 1 hour early every week to see T (no other options). I don't want to be the first in line when my boss decides to fire someone (we had a talk about me leaving earlier, he was not happy), and the time will come sooner or later. Job is more important for me than therapy. Also, my T is away quite often, so it looks like this: she comes back, I need 3-4 sessions to feel comfortable again, we have 2-3 normal appts, and then she leaves for a few weeks again. Also, I know her from before, and this is something I'm not comfortable with, and I can't do anything to change that. I tried. When I summed things up, I decided to quit. At least for now. It is kind of sad. But well, it's me who decided to quit, not her, so I don't have a right to complain about it, right? So I just shut up now.

Can you get a different T with later hours and who doesn't leave as often?

Ummm, yes you have a right to complain if you are hurting! We will listen. I agree with Sannah. It sounds like you still need therapy but you should find someone who can offer you are more convenient schedule that doesn't interfere with your job. Also--maybe one who doesn't travel so much?

Not being able to accommodate schedules when we want therapy sucks!

I do hope you don't quit. At least go in once more, and explain your reasons for quitting and perhaps T can refer you to someone else that can better accommodate your schedule (like maybe an appt on a Saturday, or after 5pm)?

I contacted one T. I like her website and her CV is impressive and I don't get scared when I look at her picture, lol. I also found some good comments about her in a local girls forum. But... she is away for a month. I'm lucky, ain't I I'll just wait and see, and if I still want any therapy after a month (which is not likely), I will email her again.

oh no eyebally... im sorry. Pain over T is terrible... and you can complain as much as you need to. If things are tough because of scheduling and such, is there any way you can do some sessions by phone?

i hope the new T works out... our attachment and resulting pain isn't trivial or silly. Not one bit. I had to leave my first T due to a cap regulation at the university. It doesnt feel good at all.
