This isn't stupid at all. Four days *is* a long time. I just had part of this conversation with my therapist today because I'm going away. I said I should be able to go a week without seeing him. But I hated that thought. He said a week is a really long time in "psychological hours" because pyschological time is about how it feels, not the reality of the clock or calendar. Sometimes it feels like forever (time in between) and sometimes it feels like a few minutes (time in session.)
We are here for you. Maybe plan a distraction or three to get you through. I've found going to the movies to be a great way to pass an afternoon if I need to not think about stuff.
And remember, he'll come back and things will go forward from there.
Hugs from me,
Daisy
