I've been wanting to express this somewhere all morning. Since I can't tell my T I have to tell you guys. (T is retired now for those that don't know my story.)
I had a dream about my T last night. I dreamed she came to my house to visit me. She pulled up in this big huge fancy car. Her husband was driving and he came with her. She was telling me how much she's enjoying her retirement. I hugged her several times and told her how much I loved her. She stayed and checked out my house and my room. I just kept hugging her over and over telling her how much I missed her and loved her. it was so wonderful.
When I woke up, I had no one to tell. In the past I could call and leave her a voice mail or tell her about my dream at our next visit. It made me sad to think that not only I can't share this with her, I can't even see her at all. I miss her today. I am in tears thinking about her, good tears mostly.
There is a woman in my neighborhood that looks so much like my T. I imagine when I see her that it's my T. Oh, how I wish.
Take advantage of every min. you have with your T. I wish I had more of them. I miss her so much. I do love her and what she helped me accomplish.Last night I had my appointment with the APRN I see for meds. She suggested I get referrals from my T for other T's. I called and left a message for my T in December, before she actually retired. She called and left me a voice mail a few weeks back to give me some names. But for now, I don't want to see one. The APRN thought now is the time for me to see one. When things are going ok for me. You get to know them, they get to know you and when things aren't so good the T knows how to work with you. It's harder to start out with a T when you are in a crisis and they don't know you. Start when things are going ok. OK, maybe???
Hummmmmmmmmmmm something to think about.
Thanks for letting me share this, I had to tell someone. I miss my T today very much. I haven't felt this way for several weeks. I'm sure it's normal.LadyBug

((((Ladybug))): What a LOVELY dream, sweetie: Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Can you not e-mail your t or talk to her still? I would think she'd be touched to hear of your dream. I am sure she must know you miss her.
I had a dream once (many, actually), about my t and I riding in a car; he reached over, held my hand and said :"We love each other." I have loved him for 4 years.
Hugs n Love, Sassy

Hi ((((LadyBug))))
I'm sorry you are having a bad day and missing your T. What a lovely dream. I'm sorry you are not able to communicate these things to your T now that she is retired. The dream must have made you feel so close to her.
I wish I could give you a real hug. That's good you decided to share here. I'm sure you will get lots of encouragement and support.
You'll bounce back. Having the dream just made her feel so real and so close, it's no wonder you are sad and missing her bad now.
I hope you feel better soon.
Sharon

I do think the dream speaks to your desire to be able to feel that closeness with your t again. Its a nice dream. It reminds me in some ways of dreams I have of people that have passed away. I am comforted by the dream for the dream brought that back to me and I was able to spend some time with them.
I also agree that the time to search for a new therapist is now. When you are feeling good, you will be able to find the perfect one and not settle.
Good Luck

I had her e-mail address though she never told me I could use it. She did tell me at our last visit that I could contact her with any news going on in my life. I took today to do that. I gave her a brief update with a few things going on. I mentioned my dream and how I missed her.
She wanted me to let her know when my daughter gets married. The date has been set and I wanted to share that with her.
I told her I didn't expect her to reply but I wouldn't object. I'm certain she won't.
I've missed her today :o( It's hard when someone we love is taken from us no matter in what manner. I guess reminiscing isn't all bad.LadyBug

I don't know your whole story, but I can't even imagine how it would be to lose T. I don't think I could give him up forever.
I'm glad you went ahead and contacted her. :)
Good luck with your decision about finding new T.
