> I get scared when I know he's not reachable.
Yes exactly how I feel. It feels so much better just to know that they are there IF you need them, not unreachable. A few weeks ago I wasn't going to see my therapist for a little over a week and I wasn't sure if I could handle it so I made an extra appt with my psychiatrist to hold me over.
Now, I saw my therapist Friday and won't see her till next Wed. This is actually because I am going out of town, not her. I think it will be okay since I'm feeling okay these days... and also I reassure myself that I can still reach her or my psychiatrist while I am away. I don't have to be here.
I've had therapists in the past who didn't work certain days and I hated that. Now I feel so lucky because my psychiatrist has his home number on his message and you can call him nights/weekends if you really need to, which I have several times. I am SO GLAD that I found him!! I just can't believe that there are psychiatrists who are so good. That's why the rape dream was so disturbing... my fear of betrayal.
