I love when having to wait is "over" and it goes toward seeing my therapist again and I can hope again. I use to get sad after a session "wore off" because I had to wait a week for the next session. But after 3-4 days, it was like Wednesday, "hump day" and work; I could get excited that I had another "chance" to talk to my therapist soon and the waiting wasn't nearly as hard. I could look forward instead of being disappointed. Now that I think of it, it kind of feels like looking forward to one's birthday/Christmas/some other holiday as a kid and then the next day when it's over, in miniature.

Maybe some of us are more sensitive when a T cancels a session because our mother/father/someone that meant something to us would promise things and then at the last minute have to cancel? I've never thought of that; remember how you could want something so much as a child and ask your parents and get a "no" or "maybe" and felt like you didn't have any control over how much you wanted it or whether you'd get it? Maybe missing people/therapists is like that and not getting the "puppy" we so dearly wanted and were "sure" we were going to get that Christmas. I still remember when I asked for a bow and arrows for Christmas and in my mind I was thinking of cowboys and indians and going out and killing my own food and being self-sufficient, etc. but I was only 6 so, of course, I only got suction-cup toy arrows that didn't even stick to the small, paper target (I was thinking Robin Hood and bales of hay, etc.) and I was both very disappointed and even insulted! They didn't "trust" me with "real" tools, just these children's toy ones! LOL
