> My question, sort of the reverse: When YOU are on vacation, do you miss your therapists? Sometimes if I am on a plane for a business trip or vacation, I do imagine they are sitting with me, because I get a little anxious and nauseous if it's a bumpy trip.
When I was on vacation over the holidays last year (gone for three weeks), I didn't realize I missed my T until I got back. Then I couldn't figure out why I was depressed after coming from such a long vaction! :) It was, in part, due to not having a regular outlet and opportunity to grow.
And I love that you said you sometimes imagine your T with you. I recently said something very similar to my T. I often imagine he is somewhere "around" where he can kind of watch over me from a distance when I am out and about. It used to make me feel very needy and kind of nuts, actually, but he seemed fine if not pleased by my disclosure. He normalized this for me, thank goodness. And you just did, too! Thanks for that. I thought I was the only one who did stuff like that. :)
Take care,
