This is the route I have tended to take, not just during holidays, but simply during the one week break between our sessions when I feel he has left me alone with intense emotions that were stirred up during our last session. Typically I just cancel one session at a time. It has not generally made me feel better except in the brief moment when I write the email and press the “send” button, so I’m trying not to do this any more. We’ll see if I can do it. I do love the “ juvenile and petulant rejection of the care which is unconditionally provided.” That’s exactly what it is, isn’t it?
