I have a friend who was going through some counseling sessions and suddenly the therapist got very ill and had to take an extended leave of absence. My friend was turned over to a new therapist but it really took so much time to get the recovery momentum moving again because he had been so comfortable with the old therapist and now had to learn to trust and learn from someone new all over again. It did turn out well in the end but it took time. I actually have a little experience with this.

They could potentially lose any progrees that he or she may have made. I think this would be terirbly difficult on a patient to lose their confidant in the middle of their treatment program.

That would be terrible to have to let clients know about the death or illness of his or her therapist, and I too think that it is very important to have a specially designated person to fill this role as this could be devastating to someone who trusted and valued this therapist.
