Today my therapist told me that she will be taking a vacation in a couple of weeks. I started crying to myself which I was totally embarrassed about. I know she deserves a vacation, but it will be hard. It is a reminder that I am dependent on her which makes me feel so ashamed. She offered to see if another therapist could see me that week. This therapist is my horse therapist so I do know her, although it is bound to feel a bit awkward. I hate feeling dependent but I feel so scared that she will be gone. I guess I just need some support. How do other people handle their therapist’s vacations? Please help me know how to handle this. I hope I don’t sound pathetic. Thanks.
