You could make a trip out of this. What else would you want to do if you went to the East coast?

My therapist of 20 plus years is on the East Coat and I am on the West coast. Most of those years I saw him in person and I know what you mean. I miss his presence, his cluttered office. Going for walks with him, swapping books with him, and the ability to get a hug too.

Because of insurance problems, I now only talk to him by phone once every 2 weeks for 20 minutes. But during the holidays, I fly home to visit family and I will see him in person for a long session.

I've ended up seeing another T too out here, partially because I really need therapy with a live person once a week, plus my insurance actually covers him pretty well.

It may be worth it to see her, but I highly suggest having other things to look forward to on such a trip. Otherwise, you could feel let down after a 15 minute visit.
