I told her it seems best for me to now just erect a kind of emotional wall to stabilize myself and to maintain some mental equilibrium that can last me for the next 3 weeks. When she returns we can dive in again.
It doesn't seem wise to stir the pot just before she's going to be absent.
This was the argument I presented to T but I also told her that I trust her expertise and that I would agree to whatever she thinks is best. I'm eager to hear her reply.

I know not going would definitely have been an option for me in a situation like this. On the other hand, going in could calm the waters rather than stir the pot.
Don't you think it might be wise in the long run to go in and try to stabilize the situation with her. I mean isn't that how relationships kinda work? When there is a problem the two people pull together to fix it?
I so very much understand the desire to pull back and lick your wounds, but isn't that kind of an old way of dealing with things? Maybe this is a chance for something new, a little scary perhaps, but better in the long run? Maybe?
