I'm trying to figure out some ways that I haven't yet thought of that can reorient me and ground me. And wondered what others do.

This isn't just an in between session thing. My therapist is on a long vacation. And unfortunately I just found out about some things that may have a serious impact on my future. I've been so preoccupied by everything that I have just been trying to figure stuff out and have put almost everything else aside.

Now I am realizing that I have to return to a baseline. I haven't been eating properly or following a routine. I haven't done anything negative, but I can't say I've done anything positive either.

I did put in a call to the person covering for my therapist. He is someone I knew before I saw my therapist so we do have a history. Still I'm not sure how to handle that call should he return it. He is not my therapist and is markedly different. Not sure if I should put any hope into that? or just forge ahead on my own?
