today i learned that yet another individual whom i have admired for their therapeutic abilities will be withdrawing from my current circle of influence. aside from various supervisors at work, today's announcement signifies the loss of a second supervisor at my internship as well.
perhaps the aspect of this departure that is most odd (and troubling) is that i have felt in myself a "hardening" toward these losses, as if my psyche is attempting to guard against any pain that may result from the abandonment it feels.
also interesting in this situation is the realization that all of the departures have actually occured at a beneficial time in my life, or at least at a point where change is imminent and expected anyway. perhaps the change feels odd to me because i was expecting to be the one leaving these people, not the one being left.
