Yes, my T has said that to me, and I believe him. We have sessions every 2-4 weeks, so it can be a long time between sessions regardless of whether one of us is on vacation. Yes, we can miss each other during this time. I become most aware of it when we are together again after several weeks, because it is a delight to see him and feels good and I suddenly realize I missed him! He is actually better at saying it than I am as he knows his own mind and feelings better than I know mine. Like I may say to him when first seeing him after a few weeks, "wow, it seems like a long time since I've been here." And he responds with a smile, "I missed you too." It's very sweet. I am working on being more in tune with my feelings like he is, and also being less hesitant about expressing them.

Sounds like a great discussion for therapy. Maybe your T can explain and that will help you in developing trust. Good luck
