New T age issue

[orek]

Hi, all--My T of 9 years just retired end of August, and I started seeing a new one (a few times now). It took months of calling/researching to find a female one who works with DID/PTSD and is taking new clients, as well as my insurance. (Finally had to go with a single-case agreement, but that's a different story.) The new one is 45, and "I" am 52. Really struggling with that and not totally understanding why. I realize that's what happens when you continue to go to therapy throughout your adulthood--you get older and the Ts get younger. She seems quite capable and knows her stuff, plus she works a lot with the neuro-biology of trauma and how the body stores memories, etc., which I wanted in my next T. And she's older than most insiders, but still....

Has anyone else worked with a T younger than the body age? Has that been an issue, not on the T's end but yours? If so, did you resolve it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. We already feel we're hovering over an abyss, lost without our former doc but not attached to this new one (if we even can).
