My therapist is on vacation and he asked me before he went whether there was anything he could do to make the absence easier and he suggested sending me a card (normally he would just give me something, but we were on zoom). I said that would be nice. Well, we are halfway and I haven't received anything. We didn't specify when he would send it but you would think it makes sense that a transitional object would be sent near the start right?
I feel like the possibilities are
a) he didn't send it yet
b) he forgot
c) it is lost in the post
I think a) is weird because it's supposed to be a transitional object. b) would be VERY out of character, he has never forgotten to do anything he promised to do before, and c) is possible I guess, I did move house 3 years ago and though I gave him my new address, maybe he got mixed up?
I'm loath to contact him while he is away but it's really unsettled me. It triggers all my abandonment stuff.
