(((Dinah))),
You're not being stupid at all. Sometimes I have a hard time making it from one session to the next during a normal time when my T is available if I need him. Even though I never really call in between sessions, it helps to know I can. I know it would be terribly rough to not have that option there.
So, you need to make sure you put your own needs first this next week. Whatever it takes. Sometimes, if I'm not going to see my T, I like to spend the time I would normally be in session journaling or thinking about things. Other times, it helps to distract myself entirely from the fact that I'm not in session. Figure out what works for you (might be different each day) and do that.
Maybe a good distraction would be your son? Are there some special things you can do with him?
Be gentle with yourself this week.
Laurie
