pretty sure my therapist ghosted me

[su1c1dal-dungeon]

i had started going to a new therapist around the end of may/beginning of june. i went inpatient in july and when i got out i was focused on php/iop and she started maternity leave.

she said she would be back to the office late february/early march. its the middle of march now and she has not reached out to me. i find it stupid for me to reach out considering that would be her responsibility if she wants my money.

therapy to me is just like having a friend to talk to because i dont have any friends. it was nice to have someone who listened and didnt judge.

It's possible it slipped her mind as she likely has a lot going on with the baby and whatnot. In my experience, therapists seldom reach out when you stop going. It might have something to do with patient confidentiality. I think it's worthwhile for you to message her and tell her how you feel during one of your sessions. And if that doesn't work, you can always find someone else

I would try an write her once. Could be she really forgot somehow, not on purpose. Or perhaps she is still on maternity leave.

I really wouldn't take it personally. she's on maternity leave, she's got a whole ass baby now, and that's gonna be her priory.

unfortunately, therapists aren't your friends. to them you are a client, they can't really form 'friendships' with their clients because it'll inevitably mess with their work.
I would just reach out to her in your own time and ask if she'll be coming back to work soon.
