Oh gosh. I don't handle vacation well. I usually fall completely apart.
I try to cope mostly by reading old therapy notes and "hearing" him talk to me. I use DBT distress tolerance skills to get through the hours and days.
If he took a month off, I'd probably have to look for a therapist to meet with in the interim. I NEED therapy every week to cope with my life. I'd probably start looking for another therapist if my current one said we'd meet just every other week. I can't handle my life without more help than that.
