Hi dia, I just ended therapy with my therapist of 4 years and I don't think it ended on a good note at all. I wrote her a letter saying some things I didn't get to say in our last session but I still feel really lost. It all was so sudden. It's like everything feels undone.
I didn't have a crush on her but I realize now that she played such an enormous role in my life. I miss her so, so much so I can imagine what you must be going through! I'm not dealing with it very well. I can't eat - I've lost about 11 pounds since last week. I try to focus on work or read a book and I just end up staring off in to space. It's quite disconcerting.
I think I'm going to find a new therapist at some point and try to work through these feelings. Maybe you could do that too? It won't fix everything, I'm sure, but I've sort-of discovered that a relationship with a therapist is like a relationship with any other person in this world... at some point, it ends.
