Thanks for validating, Phillipa. I don't know about legality, but my psychiatrist did not do a good job ending things. I only coincidentally discovered he was moving on. It was traumatic & psych/med issues were put aside to quickly deal with his leaving.
I asked him for some doctors' names & assumed that one would pan out.
I'm hoping he was simply avoiding ending w/ his patients & I wasn't just forgotten, but will never know.
Though he was a p-doc & not a therapist, he was such a rock for me & he knew about things that I couldn't share w/ family & friends. He provided that feeling of temporary sanctuary that I thought would be there long into the future.
Aside from the traumatic ending, I appreciate him. He never made me feel bad about sliding scale & was so unusual in offering it. He's a genuinely good person who doesn't lord status over others. I saw much evidence of that good over the years. ~ Thanks for the space to see it.I guess there are others out there who have to commute long distances to see doctors & maybe have to take sick days to do so.
I'm so lucky to have this health insurance for now & I'll try to focus on that. -Thanks
