If anyone has experience with this, or just advice in general, I would love to hear.
I haven't had a temporary T, but I am like you. It takes me a long time to open up. It took my last T almost 2 years for me to open up to her, then she had to move, so I start with a new T Fri. I hope we can connect. Anyway, my answer would be no I wouldn't do it. If I had a problem while I was away, I would ether call my T, or the hotline.
