I'm also a 3x/week client who is having their first session back after an 11-day vacation tomorrow. I handled it kind of okay which feels weird. We had a 5-day break earlier this month and it was awful for me. Maybe it's the way we handled this break: he wrote me a letter, we spoke on the phone twice, he sent me 3 emails (2 of them unexpected). I still feel a little anxious about seeing him again tomorrow, but I don't feel totally disconnected from him either. We also had an extremely intense session the one prior to the last one before his vacation that left me feeling an intense bond with him (he touched my arm for the first time in 3 years) and I don't know if that played into this time being easier. But it could also be that I tend to shut down emotionally and maybe I've done that while he's away. I can't tell. I have no idea what we'll talk about tomorrow, but I'm glad he's back. I hope your session goes well.
