Scarlet, I'm glad you won the appeal!
With G, could you just look at him as a tool to get through the time with L gone? A survival tool? And if you get something else out of it, great! If he just helps get you through L's leave, then that's enough.
That's kind of how I saw therapy during the first year of the pandemic--it was just helping me get through. I didn't expect to get much out of it beyond just surviving (as it was very difficult for me, having many of my coping methods/escapes taken away and having extremely little time to myself).
