> I'm glad she's going to call. And statistically air travel is the safest way to get anywhere. Much safer than dirving.
True.... but to be honest, I just worry about her leaving her house!
> She's clearly interested in exploring how you feel about her going away, and where she is going and so on. So I'm sure it's OK to tell her that you phoned her colleague and that he told you where she was. It's especially understandable in view of the bombs in London. After the events of 9/11, the recent attacks in London can elicit a lot of terrifying emotions. Who wouldn't be distressed at the possibility that their therapist was unsafe?I agree with you, Tamar, and I will definitely talk to her about it. Last time she went away, I told her that one reason I wanted to know where she was going (as silly as this may sound) is so that I can watch the weather forcast for that area. For some reason, if I can look on a map, it's easier to "see" her, and if I know the weather there, then I feel connected. I didn't know that this time. But you're absolutely right about 9/11 and now the bombings in London make me worry all the more. Part of me is so angry and just wants to say, "See! Now this is why I need to know where you are!" Ugh... I could never allow myself to say it though.
> I hope she calls you as soon as she gets home! I'm sure you'll feel more secure when she's back.
Thanks Tamar. Though I'll still have to wait till Thursday to actually see her which will still feel like an eternity.
