Jadah, I am really sad for your situation. I think you said it all when you said that you wish you could go back to your original therapeutic relationship, but I don't blame you at all. A year ago I would have done the same . I loved my T very much and that love was so overpowering I would have done anything. Now I love him more than that and the feeling is deep and abiding and I couldn't do anything to hurt his work and his family, both of which mean a lot to him. (Not that he's asked me! this makes it easier!) I think a lot of this is because I'm older than most people here and have already made huge mistakes in my life, which have hurt people and which I deeply regret.
I think you are tackling this with love and sensitivity. I think pinkeye's idea is very good, that you start therapy with someone else to help you through this. My thoughts are with you - take care. Raindancer
