It does sound like we have a very similar situation. Do you still think about your old therapist much? Its been a year since we terminated, and I still look for her car where ever I go. She drives a blue Audi. Do you know how many blue Audi's there are on the road? 1,000,000's! I've almost gotten in car accidents trying to figure out if it was her driving by. Its so crazy, I wish I could make it go away.
I'm going out of town for a couple of days camping with my kids and husband. When I get back on Tuesday there is a chance I could see my therapist again, but I feel so pathetic calling as if I can't survive without her. Is it better to admit you need her and see her as often as you can, or is it better to be strong and try to get along without her? I seem to try to get along without her and then my "weaker" side gives in.
How old are your kids? My boys are 4 and 7. They do keep me distracted. They also force me to keep it together. I am so afraid that my mental state will impact them. I think our camping trip should be a really good distraction.
