You probably recognize that you are going through all the stages of grief (this is a loss) and eventually you'll reach acceptance. I'm very happy to hear that he is playing by the rules (and more) by giving you 2 months. I would take that time to work through your anger/abandonment issues, get some names of therapists he feels will understand you, and talk to him about what information you would like him to pass along to the next therapist. I promise you that you will get through this and reach acceptance. Actually I envy you- I was given no time when I was dropped and I responded with a suicide attempt that I honestly feel could have been prevented if he had given me the time to work my feelings out. The only thing I don't understand is his 2 year statement concerning how much more therapy you will need, how could he possibly know that? Maybe your next therapist will be so good that you will need considerably less time. I wish you all the best- judy
