With former T, I would usually get disconnected during her vacations and we would spend the session that she came back, getting back to a space of feeling connected, feeling valued, feeling cared about etc. If something bad happened whilst she was away we would talk about that, usually not in depth because it would be too intense for the first session back but she would want to discuss it and get it out of me and into the room so to speak. I usually found the session back satisfying but also difficult.
