Hi Antigua! I was wondering what happened with your situation.
Your therapist can't help you get over the psychiatrist you have? Why do you consider seeing her a step back?
Or is it that you don't really need her anymore? Maybe your psychiatrist sees that your need for him is less than it was, and isn't putting the same priority on making time as he did? Most psychiatrists don't do therapy anymore, so perhaps it was always an intentional thing to carve out the time in his schedule? He always was a bit more likely to do what he thinks is best for you, wasn't he? If I'm remembering correctly...
What do you think? Are you ready for the teenage developmental stage of therapy? Or perhaps young adult? It's a bit scary and definitely lonely moving away from home. Are you ready for it? Are you coping ok? Are there alternate ways to avoid feeling lonely?
Of course, I'm out of touch with what's going on in your life, so I may be way off base.
It really is good to get a chance to catch up.
