You know, when I first got out of the psych. hospital, I was very attached to my therapist and I just panicked when he went on vacation. He knew me well enough to give me a month's advance warning and phone numbers of on call substitutes. I just felt so fragile at that point in my life and I needed him to get through my week.

Now, five years later, I'm at a different point. I'm stronger and don't feel like I need my therapist as desperately. If he goes on vaca, I'm very okay with it. . .go and have a great time, see you when you get back.

We all have our own feelings and whatever they are are valid. So if you feel hurt or anger or abandoned--or you're just fine with a therapists absence, there's no need to wonder if you're in denial about something. It all depends on your personal growth and where you are.
my two cents. . .
