I'm sorry ((((lonelygal))))
How was your last session with your old therapist? I think *that's* what you need to hold onto. I tend to do the same, when I receive a letter from my T about something or other (which isn't really that often) I tend to read it as cold or distant -- even if sometimes they are actually fairly friendly -- but most times those letters are just a formality, a part of the business end of therapy, and really has nothing to do with us (or them) as clients (or therapists) or people. I'm sorry it hurt you though. Try to hold onto your old T as a person, not as a letter. And try to think of your new T as a different person to whom you may relate in a different (but not necessarily better or worse) way.
Easier said than done, probably, I know. But try your best.Peace,
SV
