NO no no...don't end therapy. These things happen... and the feelings you are feeling are normal (((hugs))) You would rather end the therapy rather than feel abandoned. It is good therapy to work through this with the T, in that, once you acknowledge all the feelings you are having about this absence (anger etc) and then have T return, well that's a good base to continue to build upon. It takes many times of feeling abandoned, working through those feelings so they diminish over time, and you begin to trust (T) and then they return.

You need to find things to do that replace or add to the therapy experience. Email is good and if your T has offered, take it. You can set it up and if you find you don't need it, then you won't have to ...but to have it there is good imo.

Journal, make special writings or pictures, collages whatever if you are artsy at all... Maybe schedule an activity each week that you would normally go to T. Take pictures of where you go and what you do, to tell about later. I suggest taking a holiday from therapy work. Leave therapy work to in office sessions. Use the time to do some things that need to be done around the house or on yourself that you put off because you're "bummed out" from therapy?

Good wishes. Of course, posting at PC helps too
