first, i am sorry you have to go through this.
second, you need to find a different therapist. this therapist you were seeing is not helping you and, in my humble opinion, is being completely unprofessional. i understand your attachment to your therapist, i have had very deep attachments to my therapists too. i am now seeing a new therapist, my fourth in 5 years. i was forced to quit seeing two of them b/c of moving, but i had to quit seeing one of them b/c they were not helping me. it is a tough thing to do, but is necessary for your well being.this therapist may or may not have openings, it is hard to tell, but my guess is that she is being unprofessional, knows she can't do much for you, and doesn't want to admit to it beyond telling you to see someone else. it is a good idea to ask her for a recommendation. actually, the best thing you could do is to contact several area therapists and "interview" them to find the right match. it is something that is tough, but that can really find you a good client-therapist match, which, a lot of research has shown, is the most important factor in determining how much the therapy is going to help you. i would think up a list of questions important to you to ask each one, and depending on their responses, go from there. good luck!
