Not hard for me to understand.
My therapist has been away two half weeks in a row, and I'll miss another half week when I have minor surgery.
Whenever I saw him for the last little while, I think of him as "he who deserts his clients". I know it's silly. I know he goes out of his way not to schedule long vacations, and is rarely gone a week at a time much less more. I don't even really need him as much. But still... He is one who deserts his clients.
First sessions back to tend to be difficult. Maybe it's because we're feeling too much pressure to be adult and not tell them exactly how we feel. Or we know that they won't really understand. Or maybe it just reminds us of the possibilities. Having unexpected sibling issues crop up at the same time just makes things worse.
I hope things get back to normal soon.
