I had a temporary T a few times when my former long Term T was on an extended working vacation in Singapore. We met a few times although I would see him around the office and he would talk to me some in the waiting room so I felt like I already had a bit of rapport with him. It was helpful to have someone to talk to, although we didn't get as "deep" into stuff as I did with long term T. One time we talked about the pain of her going on vacation during a time when I was crises-y. (She taught at a university there in the Summer so it wasn't like she had total control over the schedule). He was sort of helpful on that, but he was like, T's need breaks too. Well duh! I knew that! But it just wasn't great timing. The other thing I remember we talked about was my having to go on anti-psychotic medication and I was talking about the stigma of that and my own fears of that. Like what did it say about me as a person that I needed anti-psychotics? Would people be scared of me? Was I more scared of myself now and what I was able to do? Stuff like that. I would have talked through the anti-psychotic stuff with regular long term T had she been around but it all happened while she was away so I talked through it with him and it was helpful! I was glad I did it.
