My therapist of 12 years is closing his practice. This has brought up many issues with me (and many other patients.) He told my husband (in therapy) first. My husband, knowing my abandonment issues, asked if therapist would be willing to see any patients from his practice. My therapist said he had already considered that for me.
My therapist has offered to see me in a combination of Skype (I think he will not always have an office) and in person sessions. I am the only one he is offering to see after his practice closes. I asked why just me and he said "you would have the hardest time making a new attachment." Could it be that he has an attachment to me? (as in, does he like me? Not love me.) Or, is it just a diagnostic decision, a business decision--no emotion? I am trying to read between the lines here.
Obviously, I am very attached.
Unsure, sad, nervous and confused.
