I'm glad you posted that Dinah. I feel the same way. I want to be supportive and I do go through periods of time when I can be. But mostly, losing my therapist seems like it would be the end of the world, nearly as bad a thing as I can think of right now. And this worries me a great deal, as I know that the ultimate goal *is* to separate and move on.
I want to believe that my therapist will be gentle about it, as he is with everything else. But I'm guessing no matter how much experience he has with this, it will be painful. How can it not be?
I really feel for those going through it, planned or unplanned. Perhaps this is the real value of CBT -- short term and limited feelings.
