I had a conversation with a friend recently about this. His therapist is moving and he has to find a new one. This is someone that knows your whole world and helping you navigate it. I had the same therapist from high school until I moved for graduate school. She was there through hospitalizations, graduations, breakups, deaths, etc. I think we were both lucky to have someone there for us for almost a decade, but ending that relationship can be tough. Finding a good therapist can be just as daunting as dating. Who really wants to start over with re-telling their story and building that trust, but I think this can also show if you were truly progressing with them.
If you have been in this situation, how did you handle it?
