Hi, Meme.
My reaction was like Dinah's-- that we miss people when they mean a lot to us. There's no way, or need, to get rid of that. You may need to accept that you can't see her, and that that's a loss-- you may think of her sometimes, for a long time, and still feel the missing-- but if it isn't interfering with your connection with your new T, or keeping you from living in the present-- it's just part of caring for someone.
At least, that's how I see it. Therapists are people-- even though some people put them into a different category somehow, they really are just people with whom we often have intimate and important relationships, even if of a unique kind.
