My T is on vacation. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be so much of a problem. We're working toward termination, which will probably happen some time in the spring or summer. The last phone session I had with her, she told me that she felt I was pulling away from her. I think she may have felt that way because I have missed a few sessions recently. I've always been super good about going, but I had valid reasons for missing. One day I had an emergency with my son, another I just couldn't make it around my work schedule. I have a very limited window in which I can see her due to not having anyone to watch my son, plus she's 75 miles away. So I explained all that to her (and felt bad that I'd missed sessions). She said we needed to have a plan and for the time being, and she thought we should see each other every week.
The whole thing just kind of made me feel like she thought I was trying to blow her off, but I agreed. Then I went in to see her the following week and she immediately hit me with, "I'm not available next week. I'm going on vacation." I just feel so toyed with. Like, I want you to be here every week, but I'm not available. I know she's not doing that, but it feels that way. I guess I don't understand why she didn't tell me when we were talking previously on the phone. Surely she knew she was going on vacation then. Ugh. I hate how this whole thing is making me feel.
