7 weeks is a long time.

she offered the email option because it is okay with her, so go ahead and use that without worry. she has given you the ok and I'll bet she looks forward to hearing from you.

i would imagine in her preparing you and her for this separation it has felt to you like a distancing and in a way it is because otherwise it would seem so abrupt; plus you already have the 'distance' of 7 weeks on your mind. i think she just wants you to be prepared and okay during the break.

are you imagining that she wants a permanent break?

are you thinking of ending the therapy process as a punishment to her for the break?

or as a punishment to yourself for feeling sad and abandoned about the break?

you can miss her to stay connected, email her to stay connected, think about when you will be able to see her again to stay connected. it's going to be a hard time but it has an end to it when the 7 weeks is up and you see her again

(( hugs )) to you. this must be so hard!
