Dear Dr. Chloe,
I’m very distraught because my therapist recently told me she is moving to another state in a month, and that I will need to transfer to a new therapist if I want to continue therapy. She gave me a list of possible therapists to try, but I’m too upset to consider it–I want to continue therapy, but I don’t want to see someone new.
I have put incredible amounts of time and energy (as well as money!) into years of therapy with her, and the idea of starting over feels very upsetting. She knows everything about me—it would take years just to get a new therapist to understand me even close to the way she does….
