Today I saw my T and he told me he is really busy with travel and meetings over the next week or so. My work schedule makes me pretty inflexible, so we made an appointment for two and a half weeks from now. This is the first time since he went on vacation last winter that I will go more than a week or ten days between appointments.
Yet I'm not upset. I feel I will be okay without him. Maybe I'm finally growing up. I know he'll be back and, after that long a break, we'll have a lot to talk about. I'll be fine. What a relief to feel that way, finally, after 4-1/2 years.

That's one of my yardsticks for growing.
Congratulations!

I think I understand what you were saying and I just wanted to let you know what a big deal that is and you should give yourself credit for your personal growth:) my therapist also is out of town this past week and its my first time trying to be independent from him...and I've almost caved and emailed him this week (which he said was fine) but I also feel ok now with not talking to him-like you said, it will be ok i guess...we'll have more to talk about when we meet in future. I'm not as strong as you though-i almost want to contact him and let him know i feel needy and have him there to help me (wow that sounds pathetic!) Anyways, hope you're doing well :)
