It can be tough when our therapists go away. I have a challenging time as well. 3 months, hang in there! I encourage you to post so that others may be able to provide support and understanding to you.

I see how it could be thought that it's right for a therapist to not tell you the real reason they left. If my long term therapist suddenly stopped seeing me for 3 months he too would tell me the real reason why. I think it's ok and even helpful to share this especially with abandonment issues.

Your therapist being gone for 3 months sounds tough. Knowing they are taking care of their health and not on some poorly planned vacation may be helpful to know. While admittingly regardless of the reason for their absence, it can be challenging.

Did you go Tuesday?I am curious how'd it go and how are you? Wishing you well during this time.
