I totally understand that feeling. Totally. I freak out if my T changes his chair... and he's going to have to move to a new office soon and I've been freaking out about that for months already. But I want to remind you of something I am sure is true for your T. My T said to me once when I was worried I might have to leave after I graduated (I luckily don't now) that, "Even if we were to end, I would never forget you. It would be impossible. You are a part of me now, a part of my spirit. I believe that when we meet people in life who are really important to us, they touch us in a special way and become part of us. I will always carry you in me. Working with you has made me a better therapist, and I thank you for that." I believe that your T has worked with you long enough Daisy that you have touched him, too. You are a part of him and he won't forget you. It helps me to think sometimes that memories are formed in our brains biochemically and that when we meet people and really get to know them, it is physiologically pretty much impossible to forget them. I don't know if that helps you.
I know how painful it is though. The fact that my T will ALWAYS put his family over his job pains me enormously. It's not that I think I'm entitled to be more important, it's just that I've never been that important to anyone and seeing that it's possible makes me want it even more.
