I know I'm one of the people complaining at the moment that my T is taking an extended leave, but this is rare. I've been in therapy with the same T for 9 years now, and it's mostly been a positive and incredibly helpful experience. Usually she takes about 3 weeks vacation a year, and she gives me lots of warning, and she usually takes time off at the same time every year, so I kind of expect it. When she does leave, she usually takes some time to make sure I'll be ok when she's gone.

She's been off or rescheduling my appointments more frequently in the past 6 months because her practice is shifting into more teaching / consulting and less clinical practice.

At one point she thought she might be relocating provinces and she made it very clear to me that she'd help me find a good replacement therapist who was trained in trauma.

So overall I'm very happy with my T.
