New therapist
Alas, my therapist of nearly 4 years has moved out of state. He was a wonderful therapist and probably did more for me in the 4 years I was seeing him than any other person had done in all the other years of counseling I'd had. I miss him already.
I saw a new person a few weeks ago - the initial intake meeting. He's not the same (not that I expected him to be). I don't know if he'll be a good fit for me or not. I hope so, but I'm not counting on it.
With my old therapist, I was seeing him once per month because that was all I seemed to need anymore. Now I'm back to weekly sessions to bring the new therapist up to speed on who I am and what I've dealt with and what I'm looking for.
No real "problem" here to solve, just feeling disappointed about losing my really good therapist. I'm very happy for him, he got a job offer far too good to pass up. But I'm pretty bummed on my own account.
bleh.
