I highly prefer blank slate.
And do not like when Ts share their personal stuff.

I recently started with a great T. That i really really like.

Recently he shared something personal with me and i wish he didnt. There is a major milestone in his life and he let me know he will be on short leave.

Now that he has shared the specifics , my mind is all over the place. I am thinking of what else is going to change. Will he reduce his hours? Will he stop taking insurance? Will the quality of our sessions change? Am i too depressing and negative for this positive change in his life? Would he even want to continue seeing me? He said be will take minimum time off. But what if that extends? What if he forgets about all the work we have already done? Do i have to start over again with a new T.? Is it fair that this was disclosed to me sooo soo late? If I had known when i started couple months back, i may have just looked for a diff. T?

It would ve been better if. He just told me he is taking some time off from work. And i wouldnt be thinking about all this other stuff.

I can ask him for reassurance, that he will be back. But who is to say that it will not change.
How do i stay vested in this relationship without being hurt. How do i protect myself for the disappointment? For losing my support.
