Tomorrow will be my last session at my t's current office. She is moving her practice a few miles (in fact, a tad closer to me). I have been going there for (gulp) 7 years. When she annouced her move, I had no reaction. But now, as tomorrow looms, I'm surprisingly sad.
What complicates the move (IMO) my therapist is also having surgery the day after she moves. So I will see her in her new space next Monday, and then not again for three weeks. I think my sadness is getting mixed up with worry for her (although her surgery is not a risky procedure - just long recovery).
I'm feeling so much love for my therapist. It's a newer feeling that I can't put words to ... yet. Tomorrow will be good-bye to the office that came to be 'home'. It wasn't a very special place - but it was where she works. And now her new office will be in a group practice. She tried to describe the new office - where I would park, walk, the waiting room, her office, the furniture.
I guess on Monday I worry I will be flooded with emotions. The anxiety of a new office, the uncomfortableness of that is BIG enough. Pile on her surgery the following day, the long absence, I told her it might be better not to go. Of course, her opinion differed. "Won't coming help reduce your anxiety of what the new office will be like?"
She plans on calling me two weeks after the surgery and we might be able to skype a session if she is off pain medication. So that is nice and helpful.
