Hi there. I'm sorry you are missing your therapist and are having trouble coming to terms with the change in your relationship. I have kind of wondered, too, what happens to those feelings we have for our therapist, especially if they'd been playing the role of parent. I guess this does kind of concern me because my t is like a mother-figure to me.
Sorry I don't have any advice for you, but I did want to say "WOW!" That's IS good insurance. Dang. Unlimited visits? I get 30 per year (I go more than that. I just self pay once I've used whatever insurance covers.) Oh, and they don't even pay for any of the 30 visits until my deductible is met, then they'll pay 80%. Of course by the time I reach my deductible, I'm out of my 30 visitis!
I would definitely look for a new therapist. I know it will be hard to trust someone new, but I hope you'll be open to it. I'm really sorry about your father and for the regrets you have.
I wish you the best. Be kind to yourself. (o:
Sharon
