D, Have you asked him about that?
I am totally there with you guys about the vacation blues. My therapist leaves August 5th for vacation with her family far away from here and she's gone until Aug 20th. I'm making her cookies for her car ride. I'm having a double session this week. She is big on letting me borrow books, so I have one for while she's gone (I totally identify with traveling around to find the new book just to keep the old one!) And I have 2 messages from her on my machine that I'll never erase (I think this is a good crutch too). But I'm definitely more scared than previous years. Why can't she just move in with me and never leave?
One question: I saw that many of you said your therapists let you borrow books. Have your therapists ever read any books that you have recommended/given to them? I really want her to read In Session and Noonday Demon, but she just looks at them when I bring them, asks a few questions and then hands them back. I think this has something to do with being in a professional role compared to me...I don't know.
