Scarlet, I hear what you're saying. I know that it is quite reasonable, and important, for Ts to need to take a break. It is the change from doing something for you (having contact) to then not doing it which is bound to have an impact. I would also feel upset and destabilised by something like this.

I know there have been other things you posted about this T where I thought that I wouldn't be able to work with her, that her approach wouldn't work for me personally, but I think you were very clear that you thought this T was a lot more helpful than other Ts you had seen and that her approach was working for you. I'm just mentioning it because it might be helpful to bring to mind that "big picture". Is this a "rough moment" with a T who has helped you make real strides forward with the issues you wanted to address. Or is it a T relationship that is not really working for you overall.

I'm sorry you had this upsetting thing and I hope you can take good care of yourself
