DP,
I’m sorry you had to leave your T but it sounds like the last meeting went well.
I’ve saved written notes and the rare post card from PrevT who I saw during my difficult time with an exploitative psychiatrist , 1992 ish - 1998(?). I hadn’t thought of making a scrapbook, but that’s a good idea. She also made an audio tape describing our time together, my gains and growth & her feelings and caring about me. It was very generous of her and helped a lot. I still listen to it occasionally.
She kinda had a two year rule, too, where it was mostly me mailing her cards, etc. but now we have email contact.
Feelings are just so hard.
You have helped make PC a positive informative place and I’ll miss reading your posts. We will be here if you decide to pop in for a visit.
