I did over thanksgiving and especially, Christmas. I could care less about valentines day but I'm mad at my T right now sooooo prob why. Plus my transference is more parental than romantic or whatever.
Over Christmas I felt sad. Sad because of my crappy issues with family - no real friends. Sad as I imagined my T having a nice, functional time with his family and friends....Jealous. And sad that my T can't be functional with me outside of sessions. Sad that I am who I am and had the upbringing I had. How alone I was....and that T couldn't be there to shoulder the blow. And sad that I wasn't being more happy for him and was all self-pitying.
Truth is though, we don't really know what our Ts lives are like. For all we know, they could be unhappy and seeking help too.
