That is an interesting juxtaposition, mentioning the vacation and the five words at the same time.
Did any of the five words have something to do with abandonment?
How I see my therapist has always been a topic for therapy. And the subtle shifts in it have been very telling, when I think about it.
My therapist liked how I described him. What I said wasn't all that flattering, and most of it didn't surprise him. But I think he was really... struck? with things I said that he may not have thought were visible.
When your therapist brings it up, does he mention one more than the others? If you close your eyes and remember his tone of voice, and body posture, etc. when he talks about them, can you feel something that feels off to you about any one of them?
Of course you can't really follow up until he returns. And it may be something else entirely that he's dwelling on. They work in mysterious ways.
