I had an appointment with my T a week ago. When we organised it at the end of the previous session she told me she may have to cancel as her daughter was having a baby interstate.

Around 13 days ago she called asking if we could move the appointment to a week earlier - I supposed the baby was premature as it wasn't due until mid-Feb. But I'm not sure why she is staying so long...I said I could make it the next day, but on the morning of that new appointment she texted to cancel, saying she had to leave that morning. I talked to her on the phone as I was going through a rough patch and she said I could call her while she was away. But I haven't as I don't want to bother her.

In her text she said she'd contact me in a week or two - it's been around 12 days so I guess it's not unreasonable but I am feeling very abandoned. Also very anxious wondering when she will be back and how soon I can have an appointment. These last couple of weeks have been particularly bad and I'm not coping.

How should I deal with this sense of betrayal, abandonment and anxiety about when she will return?
