T on Vacation

My T is out of town for 14 days... my littles are very sad they keep crying, my teens are thinking of ways to be bad... I just want her to come back.........

Ouch. That's tough. We're here to lean on if you need us.

Maybe your littles can make her a welcome home card or draw pictures for her.

Hang in there. Sometimes people here count down the days when therapists are on vacation would that help.

When SKR went out of town or was on vacation I would think about one of my sessions and make up art projects and so on around what went on during that session. When SKR found out I did that she started copying "homework" for me to do when she was away. it sure made the time go faster. I also talked into her voicemail even though hshe was gone. Just hearing that voice mail message she had up helps so I called it every night. and talking into her voicemail felt kind of like she was still around.

Hang in there

Hang in there

Thank You Petunia..... that is a good idea.......Thanks for caring.....

myself.....thank you for your ideas....I do call voice mail to hear her voice......thanks again

You're welcome

Here's an idea for the Littles. Each day put a special sticker on the calendar at night that way they can see the days go by and the special stickers. They can make a collage of pictures by putting a picture of something that was good that day until she gets back and then give it to her.
Just some thoughts.
It's really hard when T goes away.
We think of how rested and much better ours is when she gets back.

Browsing magazines/catalogs/etc salvaged from the Post Office trash cans, laundromats, Drs offices, etc can really be entertaining and pass time. It's something all ages of you can enjoy. Hang in there sweetie kins. The time, she goes marching on, ya know....

Mine went on a vacation earlier this year. It was really hard, but we did okay.

Just try to keep yourself really busy. We are here for you.

lilith, My T is away at the moment also. Its hard but i try to make the others as cosy as i can and spend time doing things that keep them comforted. In the end im just distracting myself until she comes back. I hope time passes quickly for you.

Yo Lillith, how you doing kiddoroni? Just thinking of you way over there on the other side of the continent. . .

You can PM me if you need a shoulder... T is almost back... you can make it.

((((((((Lilith))))))))) I'm so sorry you are struggling. It's scary when Ts go out of town, especially if we have learned to trust them and they are our safe landing. Everyone had great ideas. I just wanted to say I care and I hope the time is passing quickly.

Is your T available for a quick phone call to let you know she is still the same T? When my T went on vacation for a few days, she called and left a brief message every day to let me hear her voice and to let me know she was coming back and that she was still safe, still who we knew her to be. It helped a lot.

Also, maybe for the next trip, can you ask her to make you a tape? They are great, not only for when they go on vacation, but also for when you need the voice of reason or the voice of soothing.

Take care and I hope it goes quickly for you.
