Sometimes you can talk about it, look at where the feelings of fear of abandonment come from, go into it to the nth degree, but still never really resolve it; nor stop the 'what-ifs' in relation to losing them in particular. I know this because it's the situation I'm in.

My T stopped working for a while due to health reasons. After 3 months she made contact again and said she was going to resume working with a limited number of clients. Of course I jumped at the opportunity of continuing with her, because there was so much stuff we hadn't dealt with. But it's a double-edged sword. I go from week to week with the knowledge that she might have to cancel again at very short notice, that she might suddenly disappear, that we may not be able to finish our work together. My T is living on borrowed time, and I know that one day I may get a call no one wants to receive. It's a difficult thing to bring into the therapy mix.
