She wrote me. In the first paragraph she says:
Quote:
Our relationship exists in the context of our roles as therapist and client. AND that context keeps the space safe and predictable enough for us to have a genuine relationship authentically, person-to-person. AND it’s still okay and real to grieve the not-enough pain, that often hits so hard with things like vacations or weekends or end of sessions.
WTH does our roles have to do with her vacations? Why make a point that I'm the client and she's thr therapist. I get that she deserves vacations. But does she mean vacations away from me? Like I'm a burden? Because I'm her job?

I know I can talk to her, but I don't want to. I need her to take my pain seriously, not to make excuses. She's going to have her vacations no matter what I do or how I feel. She is not predictable in her vacations except she takes off a week every month because there's so many federal holidays.

I just hurt. And I don't feel like she gets it.
