Interesting thought!

I rely on my T for guidance and as a bouncing board for things I'm thinking of doing.

Mine is also gone over this break and I must admit there have been times when it's crossed my mind and I've thought I wish I could tell my T ....

But.

Overall I'm okay having this break. It makes me an independent decision maker. So far so good.

I think T are aware of the impact they have. It's a positive reward when they see progress in clients. Remember they're not our "friend", theyre a professional confidant.

I'd consider changing your strategy.

How about instead of "demanding" answers, give your T a compliment. Let him/her know that the break has made you realise what a positive impact they have on your life.
