Thanks for your encouragement, Alexandra; and for understanding. Seems like you can relate... I knew people here would. This is so unlike her, I can't help but worry. I'm trying not to though, but of course it's hard.
This is the hard part of therapy... the realization that therapists are human too and stuff can happen to them and their families too. I don't want her to have any hardships or suffering (of course!), but selfishly, I don't want it to affect me either. I feel bad saying this, and I don't mean it in a bad way. Guess I'm just thinking of some people here who were abandoned by their therapists in one way or another. I don't want the ripple effect of an emergency, I really don't want her to be going through something. And I think that's the other hard part, being smacked by boundaries. As much as I don't want to know too much, I also want to. Part of me wishes she could/would share with me what's going on... Not just to know, but so that I can offer my support too.
I just hope everything's ok! I'm going to try to get to sleep.
