What I do: I journal on my laptop right after my session. Later when I need to I edit that for more precision and add new insights. I pull up my therapist's website and reread it and look at his picture. Or I take a different route and distract myself by keeping busy or talking wlwith someone, not about therapy-type stuff or even personal stuff necessarily but someone I can (and want to) talk deeper with. Also count how many hours till the next session.
I text my t when I need to feel more connected. He always texts me back. I also have a Transitional object from him (a stone, which I take back to him regularly to reenergise for me & he holds it through our session). I hold that when I feel that I want him closer to me. Distraction is not a strong enough strategy as he will just pop back into my head. I hope you can find something together to help you. Talk to your t and see what they suggest. Xxx
