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.

That was one of the concerns I had about talking to a support T about my own T's absence. As with any job, therapists tend to stick with each other, probably because they know from their own work how other T's might feel and function.
