I don't like her response. It is therapy if you're talking about something that's affecting you. It sounds like she's uncomfortable with it.
Personally, I don't like to talk about it because I don't want to admit that I have feelings about him going away. He usually tries to get me to talk about it though. At one point, we had a small rupture because he had told me that he was going to be there for me for a trauma anniversary, but then I found out that we were going to have to miss some sessions that week and I felt kind of abandoned. After that he gave me a calendar marked with all of the days he would be gone for the next 3 months. Before this though, he would usually let me know well ahead of time for his major vacations and it was made known that we could talk about how it would affect me at any time. I'm sorry your therapist isn't so open.
