Oh what fun with a capital f for fxxx all i have had today?!!!! My counsellor after 15 months stopped today, but treated it like nothing. I was cross, upset confused and very hurt. I am genuinely struggling with things at the moment anyway because it's near to Xmas and i am genuinely miss my dad. He would comfort me through this, emotionally i mean but he's dead past 6 years. What can i do over Xmas so this isn't so tough? Do i tell my doctor i have switched again because that is the 2nd time i have had to change so this will be the 3rd person i see. Are male counsellors any good? I have never seen a male before, because this is PTSD counselling for rape? I am sorry to ask this but feel i must. If you can reply then thank you.

    sad you are feeling like this, ive been in same situation and even when we know our therapy is finishing it can still hurt,shock, upset us. our therapist for however long has been with us when we have shared some very personal things and when it suddenly ends esp when we know we still need someone it really does hurt. im sorry you feel that way. but please dont give up, go back to your GP or try another counselling route if you can. i hope you manage to still have a nice Christmas. and im sad to hear you miss your dad x

      Hi caz, the problem is this is specific ptsd counselling, it hurt to leave my counsellor because to my mind this issue hadn't been properly dealt with. I have quite deep issues apparently although i didn't know that. It's just how cold she was yesterday, it shocked me. I am still reeling from how she was, but can go back to there but not to see her. I will be seeing her colleague instead. I will see how i get on for a few weeks and if it's still not right i will say something.
