I don't usually post on Psychology, but Having read this thread prompted me to.
It's awfull that a therapist would abandon a client, but it happens in many ways, and all too often, from what I've been reading and from people I've spoken to.
Falls, I don't know if you feel the same way, but I kind of think that your last therapist abandoned you; not by leaving, or terminating her work with you, but by distancing herself, and not helping you anymore. The hell you went through for the months preceeding the time you left was terrible. The fact that you picked yourself up, and the steps that you took to find a T who could help you were Herculean, and in finding one who could, and would work with you, whom you qualified on your own is fabulous. You truly inspired me.
For everyone else, I'll mention my own bit of abandonment. The last T that I had called me, while I was in the hospital, to tell me that She was leaving the agency, and that She hoped I could find someone else to work with. The can be SO much help.
My two cents,
Dee
