Yep. I've been hesitant to bring it up again, afraid of the answer if I push. But it's making me crazy.
She told me she needed some ideas from me about what I need her to do. This is what I have so far:
1. Tell me exactly what I can expect in terms of frequency of contact via phone and in person.
2. Give me specific, concrete things to do to deal with the pain. (Surely she can do this, right?)
3. STOP asking me if I want a referral. Even if I manage to eventually talk myself into this, it feels too much like the replacement thing right now and I can't deal with it. Last week, I almost asked her how she would feel if someone told her she should be dating (her husband died last fall). Because that's the way it feels to me. She is not just my T, in my mind and in my heart she's my family. And I can't just switch to someone else. I can't even think about it right now.
