Hi Sleeps,

It is hard to be out of touch for so long like this, Sleeps, I know. If your T is like mine, he can't make contact unless you initiate it....except if he has to cancel an appointment or something, I suppose. He can't just call you out of the blue to check up on you, for instance. It's different than not caring, but that's part of their professional boundaries and conduct. Therapists can still care, and care a lot, and maintain their professional boundaries. I guess I'm wondering if you might still like to go see him, even if you can only go to see him occasionally. I know it's not the same as it was before, but I still wonder if it might help to talk with him and see him even once in awhile? You might also be able to talk with him about other things you can do inbetween times....maybe you can email him? or have periodic phone contact? or see if he runs a support group you can attend? Maybe you can see if he can suggest other ideas in your area too. I don't know. You may not want to go back at all, but I guess I wonder if it might be worth going back to touch bases with him.

THinking of you,
