Yes, we must also realize that our therapists have their own baggage regarding suicide or death and sometimes it just gets to be too much. Even though I know this intellectually, it is extremely disconcerting emotionally. I find that there is no such thing as a promise. because she promised, no swore, repeatedly not to let me go - that she knew all my issues and pithy problems - and then went ahead anyway and did it. I do not think, it is because I was too troublesome but because of her issues with my then imminent suicide. Which to me, is inexcusable because you are a therapist, you just don't work with the "worried well" but the truly sick also. She knew what she was getting into. And you just don't sever a relationship of five years and turn tail and run. This is a little harsh, I know. but I am having trouble with the loss.
