My current therapist is amazing. He's helped me through a lot and he's the first therapist I've that that has actually made me feel like progress was being made. 

A few weeks ago, he told me that his rotation at my hospital (I'm an outpatient) was ending and he accepted a position on the west coast (i'm in Boston). I could tell that he was really excited about it and I was/am happy for him. I thought I was ok with it. 

Our last session is coming up this Thursday. He says I'll be the last patient he sees before moving. I'm really starting to struggle with the idea of him leaving. My case is being handed off to a new doctor who is "very good" but I'm finding it hard to believe that this new person will be able to help me as much as my current doctor is. I don't want him to leave. 

Has anyone here had to switch doctors because of circumstances out of their control? How did you cope/move on with it? Am I being overly dramatic?
