Hello,

I'm new to this forum so this is my first post so please tell me if I do or say anything wrong.
I'm feeling really down and hopeless at the moment. I've been having counselling for about 6 months now to deal with some issues from my past and progress has been extremely slow. In the last few weeks I noticed my therapist has been pushing me a bit more and although it felt uncomfortable it seemed to be helping me progress. However in my latest appointment on Saturday she told me she's leaving and that I will only be able to have a few more appointments. I'm absolutely devastated by it as I feel like I'm only just starting to open up properly and trust her enough to get anywhere and I'll now have to stop. I can't face the thought of speaking to anyone else. I feel like she's abandoning me.

Has anyone here experienced something similar?
