Glad your other T is coming back soon and that you get to talk to your Pdoc. It's also good to know there is a backup for if/when this happens again. I saw a backup T twice when my former T was away for several weeks (she used to teach a class in Singapore every other year and was gone for several weeks. We could still email but no phone calls or text messages). I found the backup T to be helpful except for talking about T's absence. He couldn't separate from being a T and kept saying how Former T needed her time away etc. Which I was not disputing. I was disputing that I needed T and what was I supposed to do in the meantime.
