I'm sure she'll be fine, I just miss my real therapist already and this will drive home that I won't see him for 6 weeks. I missed last week but that felt natural since I was supposed to be on vacation. Normally though I'd be on vacation and then the next week see real therapist, not some stranger.
It will be fine. It's only a few sessions. Even if I hate her I can cancel the rest and white knuckle it. But I'm still do anxious I need a PRN to sleep. Until tonight I've been falling asleep early. this week.
Just 6 weeks......

You can do it! Maybe try gratitude. It really could be worse. Bc I'm on medicaid I have never had a long time therapist. Once they get experience they leave. Right when I start trusting them they leave.
The therapist I have now hasn't left. But I'm burnt out on therapy. Music helps me more than actual therapist. But idt I need trust to do cbt for my anxiety.
I'm not trying to say what you're going through with not having him for 6 weeks. He will be back and you can come away stronger. Use your grounding skills. You'll make it through it! 😊
