> I think it was last year that my therapist took his longest ever vacation since I'd been seeing him. It wasn't unusually long - two weeks -- but for me it meant missing 8 sessions and it was right when I was breaking up with my husband. So he had me write to him every day and he made me promise to give it to him, so he could see what I was thinking and just what was happening. I had a helper here, or two, who made sure I was doing the journaling. It really did help make me feel connected and it helped my therapist catch up without it taking so many sessions. We do this even over weekends now, if I'm struggling, it just seems to work for us.
**** That might work out ok. I kind of do a similar thing because he lets me email him as much as I want. He only checks his email at work, though, so when he gets back he'll have LOTS of emails from me. The phone sessions will help some too, I hope.

> I know it isn't the same but at least he'd be able to see what is going on with you and any patterns that might be emerging. When is the end of the semester? Do you stop seeing him when school lets out?**** The end of the semester is in about a month. If I get the job I applied for and can stay here over the summer like I am hoping (and it is pretty certain I'll get it) then I won't have to stop seeing him. If I don't get it I think he'd do phone sessions, but they aren't the same.
