Yeah, I don't see how I can get back into the abandonment stuff anytime soon. I just heard back from my old T and I am going to meet with her next week sometime. We parted on good terms, even if she stopped being a good fit for me. At least she knows my back story and where my life was at when I...

This was really helpful. Thank you. I know deep down T would not have done this willingly. If T is conscious, T is probably feeling awful for ending things this way. I hope someday maybe I will receive a letter or something as a form of closure. I am trying to imagine T in my mind, and what T...

Thanks for the replies. I have cried for hours. I know T would want me to get help. We were working on abandonment. I lost my pet last year. And my spouse asked for a divorce. He was one of the few constants and routine I had. I keep hoping, probably naively, that maybe months down the road or...

I met with that T last night. I did not feel she was a match. And actually retelling her the basics of my story opened up a lot of old wounds that were healing under my actual T's care.

I think T might be incapacitated. My T is not the one who informed me about this. I was told T's practice was closed.

Well, my therapist is not working anymore at all. I don't know how to grieve this. I don't know how to find another suitable one. I have had so many ones that didn't help. More trauma....

Still no word from T. I should call but I have such a phone phobia. I feel forgotten about. What if other clients know what is going on but not me? I feel like the more time passes, the more likely I will have to start over again...

I changed therapists when I felt like I did all I could do with the one I was seeing for about 18 months. I learned a lot with that T but I outgrew her and needed to take things to the next level with someone new.

It happened to me because I was so happy and relieved to finally find a T I could trust, a T who "got" me. I was in major crisis mode and clinging to any support I could find. After a few sessions and settling into a routine with T I felt more motivation to work hard than obsess. Give yourself...

I am too scared to check the obits. But I could ask a friend to look...

Thanks. It is so unlike my T to do this. T could be dead for all I know right now. T is very prompt in returning messages so this is really unusual. I did okay for the first few weeks but now it is hitting me like a ton of bricks. If I see T again it will certainly make for an eventful session!!

I have seen 7 Ts in the last 6 years. Several were with my ex-spouse. The number of therapists is because of retirement, maternity leave (the T's), moving (I moved), insurance changes, a couple of bad fits, etc. My current T is missing in action. Been working with T for almost a year with a...
