In reply to I'm going to send my old T a letter tomorrow, posted by crushedout on January 11, 2005, at 20:42:23
Definately go over the letter with your new therapist.
Whether it is a good idea to send it or not depends on the content and tone of the letter, and your preparedness to handle both getting a response and not getting a response.
When I started looking for a new therapist (before I had left my old one), I gave her a letter (read it to her and then gave her a copy) explaining why I was leaving. I was incredibly disappointed a month later when I realized that as clear as I thought the letter was, that she had no idea why it was that I was leaving. But it did make *me* feel better to know that I had tried to explain it as clearly as I could.
These are very difficult decisions. Let your new therapist help you.
P.S. You know my email address...
