Hey Tree,
Can't write too much cause I am supposed to be sleeping now but I just wanted to add one quick thing for you. You may want to ask t about how vacations work for him, cause.......I once had a conversation with my t pretty early on in therapy and I said well I am going to take a month off but is it ok to call if I need you? My t said, "gosh KC, I don't know how to say this but a vacation from t is a vacation." (meaning if I am out it is not ok to call just when I need him.) I am uncertain of your terms with t but he could be like mine and not want you to get comfy with a break when you want it but having t too. ya know what I mean?? just something to ponder.
