I have family and relationship turmoil also, so i get that, and if therapy is causing ANY distress on top of that, not good in my experience. Hope it gets better for you.
Thanks for your reply! I understand where you're coming from. I don't really think T has done anything to make me feel worse other than take a vacation/holiday over the christmas time which triggered feelings of abandonment. T is aware of my issues surrounding that and it something we talk about often. I think the problem is that the timing was really bad and all these external factors triggered me at the same time as T being away. Hopefully once I get back into my regular therapy routine everything will settle down a bit.
