Well, you know the new therapist is CBT oriented. So at the least you'll learn some coping skills.
Don't worry too much about the dependence. My therapist reminds me that we're a self selected group who mostly found this board because we were attached to our therapists. Not everyone gets this attached. He says most of his clients are happy when he leaves town, because they get a break from homework.
Even if your symptoms are all physical, you can learn tips to cope with them. But the interaction of mind and body is pretty impressive. My husband fussed at me this evening and I went from feeling mostly ok to feeling overwhelmingly sleepy in moments. I wouldn't have even noticed the cause if I weren't paying attention. I'd have just noticed that I was sleepy.
