(((mue))) Good to see you here.

It is so understandable that you feel a need to retreat to safety, to take a break from difficult feelings, to give yourself room and space to find your equilibrium again.

Yes, but I think the first session back might feel that way no matter when it is scheduled. I think it could feel that way for a minute or two, until you are reassured in person that he's fine and ready and willing to be there for you. Have you ever had a situation like that, where returning to work and to the people you enjoy being with, is something that feels soooo good and is healing in how it normalizes your life again? Maybe you could see scheduling an appointment and your returning as a gift to him in that way
