I haven't had the need to see a counselor in a few years.... That is until my daughter got married and we moved into her new house from our house. I am 35 minutes from a grocery store, hospital etc etc. My doctor's are still in old town except primary care. She's the other way. She wasn't comfortable managing my psych meds like old PCP, and since I now have 0 support people in this state, I need someone unbiased
But my former counselor of 20 years, is now retired. So I just finished the 3 session intake and we'll start counseling on Tuesday. I don't even know where to start with her. I really miss Jerry, and I already feel that way being built up brick by brick. It's a great of the unknown, a great of saying the wrong thing and her taking it wrong and have me admitted. It has been 12 years since my last admit. I used to be admitted every few months.
Has anyone had to get a new counselor after years with another? If so, how did you handle the change? Any input is welcome!
