my T is away this week---AGAIN--- also.
she gave me an assignment before she left....think of positive things and goals and things i like to do and write them in my journal. let insiders do that also.
do something on the list and write about how we felt. (naomi and her plants, lil willow and a book or draw a picture etc).
these are positive distractions and they usually work.

i also have a "containment box" which is just a plain cigar box i got at the craft store. write all the things that come to mind on separate index cards and put them in the box. when T comes back, bring them to her to talk about. The trick is, that once they are in the box, you DON'T look at them.

just what we do.....
