Hi WIP,
What a wonderful post - thanks so much for saying all that and for the links. I've wondered about that and from searching the 'net, there are some people doing therapy that way. You thinking it's feasible and not ridiculous or anything gives me more hope, too.
Lol - in a fantasy world I could maybe sit him down, not allow him to speak and say, "Look, dear T., this is how it is. I don't care that I moved, you are my therapist, our work is not done, and that's that! Now plan to get a webcam and let's take care of setting this up this right now. Period!"
Or something like that. But I think I'll have to go with a bit of a subtler approach {drat!} I just hope I don't freeze and beat around the proverbial bush about precisely what I'm proposing. I tend to do that when I'm afraid of rejection, and this time, I don't have time for that. I really don't want to leave these 2 precious sessions with this huge elephant left...undescribed, so to speak. I think he's guessed, but I haven't come right out and said it - just massive hints about wishing I were paying him and being "second class," and this not working for me in it's present form. But his entire style and way is always to let me lead on everything, so as I've hinted I had something to *say*, he's waited and I've chickened out in my emails and on the phone. I really just wanted to be sitting in a room with him to do this. Now I just can't be too afraid - it's kinda the whole point of the trip.
Yeah, I remember about missing him over holidays or a couple of 2 week vacations....and I thought I couldn't bear it. It's all relative, isn't it? We don't know what we can endure and cope with till...we just do it. Glad you saw your T. today :-)
