Even if you were certain he wasn't abandoning you permanently, he's abandoning you temporarily. Three weeks can seem like an eternity or a moment, depending on what's going on.
Even now, when I feel more confident in my ability to do without my therapist, I'd still feel like three weeks was forever.
I suppose I still have a few issues in the area myself.
Can you plan things for while he's away? Camp comfort? Anything to increase the chances of passing the time more quickly?
He's right, be kind to yourself. And maybe treat yourself extra nicely while he's gone.
