thanks for posting those statistics, Dinah. I'm really glad that the rate is decreasing so much- although 1 or 2 therapists per a hundred is still 1 or 2 too many. I've really come a long way from blaming myself to an anger stage right now- that's probably a lot healthier.
do you really think about the scenarios you described with your therapist? his death, moving away, etc. have you worked on your abandonment fears? that used to be so huge for me, attempting suicide (a very serious attempt) was a pretty strong reaction to my ex-shrink dropping me. now I know I will never get that dependent again on anyone. as much as I truly like my shrink of 3 years now, I could easily go without ever seeing him again. there must be some medium ground to this- I know shrinks move and although their clients are sad they work through it and move on to the next therapist.
well something to think about. take care, judy
