On Thursday my therapist told me she's moving to her winter location full time. We usually do online therapy half the year and in person half the year since she started spending winters away. Of course throughout COVID there's been more online than usual. So I can still do online with her, but it will not be the same. I can't fully grasp the enormity of this change and what to do about it. Do I continue with her full-time and just accept that it will be all online? Do I seach out another therapist that does something additional for in person support such as an art therapist? Do I switch therapists?
This is so scary for me. I have only ever worked with my current therapist. Well, other than when I have been inpatient and worked with amazing therapists there. It's been 9 years. My therapist is amazing. She's kind ecclectic which has suited me. I don't believe there is anyone else around here who will be able to support me with my trauma and dissociative identity disorder.
I want to cry, scream, run, and hide in a hole and pretend this isn't happening. For now, I am letting the news out in pieces and mostly pretending it isn't happening. After all, she'll be here through the summer. But I know just ignoring it isn't going to help. I know that lots of people have switched therapists for many reasons. I never have and have always been grateful for having my therapist. Now, I don't know what to do. Any words of support or suggestions are welcome.
