I am so glad I came across your post as I feel like I can relate to both your situation and many of the feelings you expressed. I went through termination just this morning and feel like it was the worst timing since after 4 months of therapy I was just finally starting to open up an allow myself to want therapy. And while I do find many of my problems to flare up and be exascerbated by the stress of the school year, I too fear summer without it. Are there any ways you could find another therapist to work with over summer? Have you talked with your therapist about your fears to get his/her advice or input on how you can cope until fall comes? I hope you can find some good support!!

I guess I just haven't established a totally trusting relationship with T yet, I have only been seeing T for 3 months. I'm kind of a afraid that I'll never be able to establish a relationship like that, simply because of all the breaks in the school year. This session was the first session where I ever allowed myself to actually tear up (still not crying but I'll take it) and feel real feelings in front of T... kinda sucks I have to leave now. I will be back with T in the fall but I feel like that's so far away . I'm going to be so busy over summer that I probably won't even have to time to think about it, but right now I'm already feeling a bit of sadness that I won't have this outlet available if I really need it over summer. I feel crazy for being so "attached" in a way, I'm just so unused to someone giving a crap about me that "taking it away" is really a test of my patience. It's like I'm a little kid who just got their candy but a big bully just stole it from me.

Anyway...just needed to vent a little I guess.
