My T went to Africa for 10 days to set up a training program in trauma for people working with rape victims. I'm glad she's doing it, because it's important work, but it means I don't get to see her this week. And that makes me sad, because I have lots of stuff going on right now that I need to talk about. And she says she probably won't have access to her e-mail where she is, so I can't even email her. I don't see her now until Mar. 11.

This is frustrating.

Oh wow, splitimage...what amazing work your T is doing. She must be an inspiring person to be around.

But...I am sorry for you that you have to get by without her until the 11th! No matter WHAT our T's are going off to do, it's hard to be left behind and to have to fend for ourselves.

Is there anyone else who can support you while she's gone? Addictions counselor? Pdoc?

I hope you will come here and let us support you too, if that's helpful.

Splitimage,
How are you doing?
That sucks that T is gone for so long.
Do you have a coping for plan for when she is gone?
Take care.

I admire your t for working for this cause. The rape rate in Africa is horrendous, something like 75%. It is admirable work.

Sorry you are missing her. I know that is hard.

Splitimage,

I'm sorry that your T is gone. It is hard even when you know they are gone for a good reason. Can you email your T, even though she probably wont get it until she gets back, and let her know how you are feeling. Would that give you a feeling of connection? Or call her voice mail to hear her voice? (I do this one) Would that help your sense of connection. I hope this week passes quickly for you.
