Beware of friends who haven't been in therapy! They have no idea what it's about and may be confused by it. When I was in the throes of some of the most difficult - and most productive - stages of therapy, where I was having all sorts of feelings about my T and my relationship with him, one friend told me I should quit. It would have been the exact wrong thing to do, but she didn't know that. Her thinking was right for relationships outside of the therapeutic relationship.
If you need to be in therapy, then you could try to work it out with the new T. If you don't need to be in therapy, then you could quit. Only you know the answer to that.
It's really hard.
