My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I dont have specific advice but was in and out of twelve steps, have a p doc and was doing well. If you want someone to talk to I’m open.

I saw my therapist for almost 10 years and he truly changed my life. It was one of the most deep and sacred relationships I’ve ever had. When I started feeling like I might be ready to stop going, we talked about it in depth and we actually spent several months specifically to help me transition out. When I had my last session, it was a really hard goodbye but I also felt ready. So I’m thinking maybe things ended too abruptly and you don’t have closure? A lot of therapists do virtual sessions now, maybe it would help you to have some sort of follow up with her now and you can talk about these feelings.

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
