Any other Americans feeling frustrated or annoyed about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and their therapist going out of town? My T hasn't taken a whole week off since March, but I'm still slightly, irrationally upset with her. And I'm planning to be out of town myself for most of the week! Still, I like knowing that she is in her office and available, and I get worried when she is traveling. I also find holiday breaks worse than T vacations because it seems like she should be there for all the dumb happy family stuff that comes up during the holidays. Family stuff gets amplified in an unpleasant way, even though I am currently refraining from any significant contact with my bio family.

Anybody have tips or plans for getting through breaks? Sometimes I find it helpful to have a project that I'm working on. My T suggested that I do something for myself during my therapy slots. She also mentioned loaning me a thing from her office like she has done before when she left town and was out of touch. Anybody have other ideas? What do you do? Or are you indifferent and/or relieved about holiday breaks?
