Hi, Everyone
I'm relatively new to this posting thing, but I have been reading peoples' posts about their experiences in therapy and am amazed by how supportive everyone is. So I think I feel comfortable enough to ask my question.I was in therapy for about five years. Over that period I was finally able to connect to her, and we made a lot of progress. She really helped me with family issues, nurturing, and all that stuff therapists do. Then I had to move across the country. I moved to my current location about five years ago. So technically I haven't been in therapy with her in many years. But I miss her, still. I miss her tremendously. And I think something is a little wrong if you can't let go of someone. I have her email, and every once in a while I say hi or let her know what's going on with me, but of course, that's not the same.
I have a therapist here, and it's going okay. She knows that i am still attached to my previous therapist, but she hasn't quite given me any ideas on what I can do about letting the former therapist go.
So I was wondering if this has happened to anyone, or if they have an idea of how to let go of a therapist.
