You're right. It looks like it is time to talk about wrapping this up. So far still feeling good. Probably better than I have in a couple of months.
I won't talk about it right when he gets back. I have to say that I hate him when he gets back from vacation. He's snide and officious. That first session back I always feel like I'm at an interview with the INS or the IRS or whatever agency sends waves of fear and repulsion down your spine. I'll give him a couple of weeks to get back to his empathic self and then I'll say "You know I really enjoyed those couple of weeks that you were on vacation."
Yes, in the past he's mostly remembered to tell me a couple of weeks in advance when he's going on vacation. The one time he forget he looked abashed and apologized. I did say that time though that it was fine. I didn't need to know in advance. So maybe he remembers that. Most likely though, he just knows me as the patient who now has little transference and never really had any dependence so at this point his comings or goings don't matter much.
