Most states have laws that say psychiatrists and psychologists have to give 30 days notice of their intention to no longer see a client- it's an ethical issue. If this is the case where you live, then you need to schedule as many appts. as necessary to work out your feelings (of abandonment?) towards him. The best situation is to get a referral and have him speak to the new therapist- that way you won't have to go over all the issues that upset you. A similar situation happened to me in the past, and the therapist I finally found is significantly better then the last one. I wish you all the best- judy
