I think your T did a great job of prepping you both for his leaving and for his return. I went through a 3 week stretch last month of not seeing my T, and it's taken me several sessions to loosen my guard. I did so well while she was gone that I really did consider not going back. Also I may never have warmed up if we hadn't started discussing whether I was so guarded as an unconscious reaction to her leaving.
Of course now that we've gotten that figured out and now that I'm in total crisis over something else, she's leaving again soon, on a somewhat spur of the moment trip to Mexico. So maybe you and I can help each other through this.
I'm really happy for her that she's going on this trip because she's definitely deserving, but the timing is a little unfortunate. (Really, when you think about it, when is the timing ever good?)
