Yes, I think you to some extent can do this to distract yourself. Of course it´s a individual matter, I don´t dismiss what you say. Some things works for some people and not for others.

I agree with the dwelling thing, too much could prolonge the mourning. I´ve missed my T for a couple of months now and I think it partly has to do with that I´m still without a new T.

Do you speak a lot about your former T with your new T? What does your new T say/do when you speak about your former T? What does he or she suggest if anything? Do you feel you miss your former T less when you got into therapy with your new T?
