Thinking About Taking A Break From Therapy...thoughts?

[Sammie]

I found out this morning that my therapist is leaving the clinic I see her in and I'm not sure she'll slide her fee down enough for me to see her privately.

She wondered (as did I) whether my wanting to quit with her was in part picking up on the fact that she was considering leaving. I know that she doesn't want to quit working with me; but I'm not sure WHAT she's thinking in terms of how much to charge if she can't get onto my insurance in the next 3 months.

I'm really freaking out about this...and it really didn't help that it has come the session after feeling like we've made a huge step forward together in therapy.

I'm not sure I can deal with starting over AGAIN with someone else.

Don't feel guilty for taking a break. I have for several months and was supported by many members here but outright attacked by others. In the end I am so glad I did and I believe some folks think T's are like some kind of God who can never be wrong. I call Bullshit! Do what is right for you and remember you can always go back.

I think the God problem happens in every walk of life though... to be perfectly honest. Its more we hope and know there are those out there that don't relish in such complex's to begin with. Some mechanics... doesn't matter how much you explain something to them, they already believe they know the problem, to only discover their wrong, yet won't admit it, charge you more, blame some other part for being at fault, then hand you back inferior workmanship... yet if you challenge them, their right, your wrong.

Pick your industry...
