Therapy, moving, different countries?

[SeekingAfrica]

I'm confused as to what to do. I skipped some time in therapy because of money, and I think I am able to handle some sessions right now. Especially that I'm having a hard time and I can really use it.
However, I'm in a different country(my home country) for 3 months. That would mean starting with a new person, having to tell them everything from the start, and just as I make some possible headway- going back to the other city and the other therapist again. I'm not sure if it's not more hassle than it's worth.
But on the other hand I've been here only a week, and I already feel huge need for therapy constantly. I wish my therapist did skype call, but even if she did I would have the privacy I need for doing such sessions here.

So I have to decide between new temporary therapist here or waiting off and handling my own mental health and pressures for a little more. Therapy here is twice cheaper which is cool, will take me twice longer to travel to it, so, it balances out:P. But I'm leaning towards the second option, may be, just because with my last therapist, although she has such a warm good vibe and really knows how to make you feel calm, it still took me months to get to the hardest thing to talk about. And I'm here for 3 months, so I'm not sure how much I can achieve really in that time slot except to vent on current events. I don't know...But then, on the other hand, some days I'm so low or the opposite, so anxious, that working is impossible(or rather really really slow) and I feel like crying or sleeping a lot...

So if you evaluate the past three months (being out of country) do you think you would benefit from therapy or not?

I wasn't out of the country the past 3 months. I've been living in a different country for years now, and I've done all therapy I've done there. And now I'll be in my home country for the 3 upcoming months. So it's almost like I'm a visitor, although it's my home/birth country.

What would you most want to get out of therapy if you had a therapist right now?

Could a compromise be working with a temporary new therapist on current events/stressors/feeling low etc for the three months you are in your current location, to get you back into the swing of therapy and work on here and now, reducing current anxiety/low mood stuff. And then you can dive back into grittier stuff if you want to with your regular therapist when you’re back in three months. And, of course, you can always dive deeper with the new temp T if you feel you want to do so once you’ve started with them.
