I know what a big deal it is, Deneb.

I know how she is sort of a surrogate mother to you. A source of stability in your life.

I'm also in a somewhat similar situation with my therapist right now, and I understand that feeling ok and calm about something can go alongside feeling really bad about it. It must be especially bad because she's not really giving you a choice.

But she's not cutting off communication with you either, even tho she's really supposed to be seeing students only. She's not rejecting you.

Maybe you can think of this as the teenage stage of the therapeutic relationship. You won't be in her direct control as much, but she's there keeping an eye on you while you try your wings. Can you feel your internalized pdoc? Can you think what she would say on situations you confront? She's a very sensible person, it seems like.

I know your last foray into therapists didn't go very well. Do you think you'd have a wider range of choice if you tried again? Not that they're washing machines. You can't replace your pdoc.

I hate change. I'm sorry it's being forced on you.
