I am feeling very sad this week because you are away and it's when you go away I realise I am alone. I sometimes wonder if it's possible to go back in time when I wasn't in therapy and didn't have the awareness I have now, I was somewhat happy then and now I feel so desperately sad. Sometimes we don't understand each other t but most of the time we do and then that's when I fall part because I can never know you outside of our hour a week together and that's when I feel that this is false. I need more from you t, I need real connection. Can anybody relate or am I falling apart here?

I'm so sorry you feel so miserable. I've asked myself the same questions you've asked, especially how one gets through termination after feeling so close to someone...? I have to have faith that the therapy process will prepare me - that these intense feelings of attachment will gradually lessen to become like a warm and comforting life-long friendship w/o the pain. My T was gone for a week not long ago and I had the worst reaction (think, emergency and hospital). I managed, but it was very painful, so I truly understand where you are coming from. Hang on and talk to your T about the feelings if they get too intense. Sending you sympathetic thoughts and
