Ummmm....grin and bear it?
Seriously - if you're really worried about your stability while the T is away, perhaps you can see a substitute T or at least have the number of one you can call if needed.
If not, use the time you would normally be in therapy (for me it's Tuesday and Thursday evenings) for something relaxing yet productive - journaling, painting, having coffee and shopping for books, etc. Or do something that reminds you of your therapist - I did this when my therapist was on maternity leave - I would go to Barnes & Noble and order her favorite drink (frappucino) at the cafe. Then I'd sit and journal and miss her. It was really hard, but I got through it.
