Thank you for sharing. It helps put posts in perspective when you know some of the background.
Voce and 10der, it sounds as if the loss of your therapist had nothing to do with their choice. I can understand how you manage to stay so positive when speaking of them. Especially if you knew ahead of time that it could happen. I have been really admiring your being able to maintain a positive attachment to therapists when they were former therapists. I'm not sure I could be so positive about mine if he were a "former" - not even if he died. I imagine that says something about me, not him. :( Maybe it would have been different had I known all along.
Smokey, you must be furious with your old therapist. I empathize with the troubles finding a therapist. I never went beyond phone contact with a multitude of them at the time I ended up with mine. You'd think they'd receive better training in how to make an initial first impression. :( But better to figure out those things early than late, I suppose. Keep holding out for a good one. The bad ones do more harm than good.
