My tdoc is medically retiring

I’ve only just begun to get comfortable with him. Now he’s leaving. I hope he will be okay but I will miss him. He is very straightforward and pragmatic. I really like those qualities in a therapist. Also he’s an actual psychologist which I have found makes a difference in quality of care. I’m not saying you can’t find a good therapist with lesser qualifications, but I prefer a psychologist. Oh well, back to the drawing board I guess. I was having a pretty good mood before I learned this news, now I’m getting a little down.

I’m sorry that your therapist is leaving, but I’m sure you will find someone who is qualified.
Good luck @Leaf!

Do you participate in therapy? I’m trying to decide if I even want to do it anymore.

Yes I do, I see a psychologist every week, but lately I too am wondering if it’s worth it.
I guess I’ll keep going.

I would say it’s worth going if it’s with the right therapist @Leaf.

I originally started going again specifically to get help with my driving anxiety so I could get out of town for the birth of my grandchild without having to take benzos. The benzos cause me memory lapses and I didn’t want to lose the memory of her birth. Plus I wanted to be with it so I could be a support for my daughter’s labor.

Well I got through that ok but my husband thought I was doing better overall and suggested I keep seeing this guy to work on other stuff. I agreed but only because it was him, because I liked him in particular. I don’t know if I will like the new person. I guess I could just try it out and see how it goes.

I just sort of feel roped in a bit. I just need to remind myself that it’s up to me I guess.
