Hi MM -
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a change in your therapy. I've never gone through long term therapy so I don't have any experiences to relay.
I know it's not very comforting in the short term, but in my own life I have found some of the changes I have dreaded the most have ended up evolving in ways that ended up being "okay" (and sometimes even better than "okay") when I've looked back on them later.
I've always been resistant to change and over the years a good friend of mine has always been there to remind me "sometimes a knock is a boost." I used to get so tired of her repeating that line, but as I look back, a lot of times she was right!
I had a reminder of that over a year ago when some events transpired that, at the time, were so difficult to deal with. It took us a while to see it, but we (my immediate family) actually ended up being in a better place in the long run.
In a way, this reminds me of a break up situation and I've always seen those as one minute, one hour, one day at at time situations. I'm sending positive prayers and thoughts your way, too - and keep posting, sometimes just typing it all out helps with the rough moments.
