Hello. My name is Stephanie. I am 25 years old. I always seem to having romantic/maternal feeling toward my therapist (Female). I am currently feeling very attach to my case worker Jenny. She is a very understanding, caring, gentle, loving person. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to continue therapy because she is moving away to the east coast. (This Friday is her last day at the clinic). And we had a very wonderful last session. But right now, i feel so sad, depressed, confused, lonely because of our termination.
I don't know what to do to deal with it. She refer me to another therapist that seem very nice and i am also seeing another lady who is my clinician. But i really feeling sad over Jenny. I just don't know what to do.

Hi, Stephanie (I use to live in Coronado, have a brother in Huntington Beach :-)
All of your feelings seem normal to me. You have "lost" your understanding, caring, gentle, loving case worker! That's like losing a friend or loved one or coworker, neighbor (when you or they move), etc. It will take some time to grieve and get back to feeling better, more like your old self. Talk to your new therapist and clinician about your missing Jenny, share with them some of the ways she helped you and why you enjoyed working with her. That might help you bridge to a relationship with your other helpers and move forward again. You probably won't ever forget Jenny but, over time, it's possible to have many more such relationships and get more comfortable living on one's life line and people moving in and out of our lives and we, moving in and out of others' lives, etc. __________________ "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance." ~Confucius |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
