My therapist is going on vacation in August. I have one more meeting with him and I am trying everything to not be angry at him for "leaving". I'm not angry at him, at all actually. I know he is coming back, I know that therapists need vacations just like any other human, etc. I've known about this vacation for a few months at least. The closer it gets the more distant I get in my meetings (except for last Monday when I talked about what seemed to be a million different things) and then seem to want to "lash out" in emails, which I'm trying really hard not to do. I know others deal with this, especially those who have abandonment issues. But for some reason it is more difficult this time. He said I can email him while he is gone, but chances are I actually won't. I over analyze everything, which doesn't help anything at the moment. Others have mentioned "therapy homework" which hasn't been ever brought up (except practicing things that we have talked about, so I guess that is in a way). I wish I could bring this up, but for some reason struggle to, because he will be gone all of August. First time having a therapist that isn't just gone for a week - and I've been in therapy on and off for 22 years.
