One thing I do when my therapist SKR was out of town or just on vaction Was think about my sessions with her and plan an activity to do around on of those topics something that involved alot of time like a craft project or a workbook activity that had many parts to it I could change creatively in various ways. Then when SKR came back I showed her what I did whenever I was having a hard time and or missed her. when SKR found out that I sometimes have trouble with her being gone or unavalable we fell into a routine where she would photocopy workbooks or give me something to work on or keep track of and I would do that while she was gone. By doing this it didn't feel like she was gone. 98% of therapy anyway is the client doing the work and applying what they learn in sessions to their outside of sessions life anyway so bringing therapy activities outside of the therapy sesssion is just a normal part of therapy.
