Goodness gracious! Sometimes I really have to wonder at these therapists. I suppose my therapist is going to hear another therapist horror story next time, because this story really frightens me. I guess I sort of assumed that if they changed their practice, it would only be *prospectively*, that they would only take children from now on, not that they would abandon those who already relied on them. I find it truly shocking that some therapists just seem to have no clue. Did he say anything more on the subject? Is he going to see you until you find someone else? Is he providing references?
I hope you do try again. The sad fact is that too much therapy is reparative therapy for prior bad therapy experiences. If you're attached to this guy, you could probably use some help processing your feelings.
Geesh. The best I can say is that you are probably better off without a guy who has personal problems, forgets his obligations, and then reneges on them completely.
I am so sorry for your loss.
