In reply to how to prepare for t vacation, posted by mmealltalk on June 16, 2010, at 16:13:59
Hey there. I don't know how long your vacation is... so this may or may not work. But, I was just away with family for a week. It was an experience of being invisible... just as invisible as I was as a kid. For me, during that time, besides a little bear my T gave me and a blanket that I sometimes take back and forth to the office (like the one my t used to have in her office that she'd let me take when I needed... I finally bought my own similar one)... I wrote her emails. She responded to one of them... but mostly they were just for me. To tell her what was going on and know that somewhere out there, someone was "seeing" me. It helped a lot. Your T would have to agree of course, but it was sort of like letters to her and talking to her. Of course I would have loved responses to all, but she didn't have that ability (she has others in her life- much to my chagrin sometimes).
A warning... if you're not ok with not getting a response, it would make things worse probably. But for me it was helpful.
Sounds like you have some good ideas and a willing T though... that's great!
