I have been out of therapy for eight weeks now due to my therapist taking a leave- now she is back and has informed me that she will only be working every other saturday- due to accepting another full time job. This really sucks as I waited for her to come off of her leave - and it was a very long eight weeks-= my problem is I am going threw a very difficult divorce ( he abused me for some time) and she was able to help me get to the point to file for divorce- now court is starting and things are really heating up- she knows everything me and the kids have been threw- do I start over with someone else-what a blow I really did not need this right now and again I am feeling as if sonmeone I trusted let me down- trust is hard for me and it took me over a year to talk to her ---it would be highly unlikley I would be able to start over- anyone been in this place before ? Any ideas as to how I can get threw it ? I am so lost I really need help wow where do I go now ??????????????

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That's pretty rough, to have waited for so long for her to return, and now her dropping her hours there b/c of a new job.
Is every other week ok for you on Saturdays?? But how long will that last....she might stop doing Saturdays all together??
A new therapist...it sucks to have to change mid-game, but maybe you'll find one that's better??...
Maybe she can devote some extra time and support through phone visits or e-mail to help you? Or maybe this is just an unfortunate situation where she must scale back her work for personal reasons. I would be honest, and expect her to do the same regarding the difficult transition you are experiencing. When I went through something similar, my therapist put in extra hours to support me emotionally. Everyone's needs are different, and if you feel you need more support than she can give, you must do what is best for you. From what you posted, it seems as though the two of you have not discussed what is best for you. But, you are stronger than you think...and it takes an equally strong and available therapist to guide you through a divorce. I will keep you in my thoughts.
