Oh Daisy, that sounds so hard. My T is leaving (actually, I think he leaves today) for about two weeks. I don't see him again until Wed. the 18th. Funny, I don't usually go on Wednesdays, but that is the first day he is back, and I snapped it up! But I only see him once a week. I can't imagine dealing with him being gone if my therapy were as intensive as yours. No wonder you are frightened.

I think your idea about the voice mail is a good one. I know I keep an email from my T in my inbox instead of deleting it because it's nice to see his name there.

And try not to worry about "wasted" sessions when he comes back. It's only natural that there would need to be a time of reconnnecting and healing from the temporary loss. I think that reconnection time is vital, actually, not a waste. But I can see how it might feel like it when you have been working so hard. Can you think about taking this time to kind of recharge for yourself? Kind of like vacation from the hard work of therapy?

In the meantime, keep posting. It seems like there are a number of T's on vacation this month, so you are not alone. And someone else who Babbles and is a dear person told me just yesterday that she too is afraid her T is never coming back. I think that's not uncommon.

Take care,
gg
