Hi AV... I didn't realize you were coming up on one year and that it was in August. I'm sorry you are someone else that has suffered an abrupt ending to a therapeutic relationship. Despite the pain and anguish, I am happy that we have all found good, dedicated T's to help us heal. You've been quiet about therapy lately so was not sure how you were getting on with the new T and it's good to know things are going well for you.

PWW... thank you so much for saying what you did. It really means a lot that I can offer my hope to others and that because I have been walking on this road for a longer time I can tell them it gets better and you will heal again. So much of what I write here I have learned from my current T who is very wise and steady. Yes, we have our disruption but like you said, he knew far better than I did what he was committing to. He told me he knew full well it was going to be a long, tough road but he always reminds me that I am well worth whatever it takes.

I also like your phrase "catastrophic collapse of the therapeutic frame". That really describes so much of what happened. I'm sorry you suffered this fate too, no matter how it played out, it's still traumatic. And it has happened to too many of us. Glad you are safe with a new good T.

I hope you will find time and desire to share some of what you are working on with your T.

Hugs
TN
