When you say he won't be here, is he going on vacation, or to a professional conference, or do you know? Sometimes my T is truly away -- like when he camped and had zero phone signal -- but often he is still on email or will even say that in a crisis we could do a phone session. I usually don't take him up on it, but the offer makes me feel better.

Could you tell him that you're having strong feelings from a very young part of you, and you need to just vent them, and to take it all with a grain of salt because it's coming from that childhood part?
