The same thing happened to me for the very same reason- a suicide attempt. My therp called the hospital and said he could no longer work with me. To be fair, I think some of them have lost patients before and simply can't go through the pain again. Not that I didn't feel completely abandoned and despite having a great pdoc and therp now, I doubt I'll ever reach that level of trust I had with him. It took about a year for me to get over the pain. You're very fortunate to have a shrink that took over, I had no one. I would discuss your feelings of abandonment, lack of trust. etc. for as long as you need to.
Take care, judy
