Not a big baby (not even a little one.) That you have this connection means you have a good therapeutic relationship and will heal faster. Allow the feelings, and the connection.

I always use the time as a break and a chance to get some things done that I don't have time or energy for when I'm in therapy. (I see my pain therapist 3x a week, and my physical therapist also 3x a week... whew!)

Foreverlost, why not just ask when the vacation is scheduled? I always seem to know, on my own.. hehehe and tell him... and then ask how close I am to the actual? Usually he had JUST that previous hour decided.
