[quote=Anonymous]I've never been to therapy, so I can't really help with that...at least directly,

However, I grew up as a military brat. My degree of happiness changed when my family moved. I was resistant to change. The family joke was that if I liked a place I got deathly ill BEFORE we moved. If I hated it, I got deathly ill when we got to the new place.

I hated high school. I cried every day of my senior year. I had LOVED junior high in a different place and was ecstatically happy in college.  I went back to where I had gone to high school the summer after my first year of college and it was still awful and the people were still horrible. So, I buy the argument that sometimes it really IS the place.

So, I don't know if it's possible, but I'd suggest that you look for therapists who have experience dealing with military spouses because I think they'll have dealt with this issue before. Maybe the same is true of foreign service spouses? I don't know. I am just saying that it could help to find a therapist who has dealt with this issue multiple times.

Of course, in the military it's sometimes the case that the spouse doesn't like moving so often. But sometimes it isn't--it's just that one location just doesn't work.

It's just an idea. You may find some therapist who works near a major military base even if you have to do your own sessions by zoom.
