I may be facing the same thing because of a move, so I have thought a lot about how to handle it. If I have to move, I plan to talk to my doc about it as much in advance as possible, so he can help me with my feelings of grief, to ask him wheter we could have phone sessions or at least keep in touch by phone for a few weeks until I get settled in the new place and find a new doc. I'd also expect that working through the loss would be one of the first topics I'd be talking about with my new doc. (So far, I've only had the opposite experience--having had a bad therapist in the past and needing to spend a lot of time at the beginning with this one talking about what happened and "testing" to make sure he wasn't the same. It worked, so I figure the opposite would work, too, so I'd be looking for a new therapist who was comfortable letting me talk about my feelings of loss.)


> What procedure should I follow if I need to terminate my pdoc because of a move to another state? I am so bummed (depressed?) Should I ask to see my records so I know what is in them before the possibility of them being passed on? Should I just start out fresh with no records? I feel as if I am grieving the death of someone close to me. I know I am getting more depressed because I come back here just to read posts. Thanks.
