I think it's great that you are keeping both of those relationships going for as long as you need them. I hope he can work into his 80's, as many therapists do, especially since he so clearly loves his work.
I sort of assume that as time goes on, your relationship with the DBT therapist will deepen, and fulfill some of the needs which your pdoc is meeting now. But I know your pdoc is so special to you. I do know how hard these issues of separation are when you have a background of neglect and abuse, as I am struggling with the same issues myself. I feel that I have accomplished a great deal with my analyst, but the thought of leaving him is truly terrifying! We do discuss it a lot, but it is an area which still I have very little mastery of. I would love to get much stronger in this regard, and hope I will be able to.
