I had an appt with my T today but it was for my 5yr old son not for me. My husband and I brought our son to see my T about anxiety. He has been having problems with worries lately/stomach aches that are anxiety related. It was so cool to see my T talk to my son the way she did. My husband was at the appt to and it was great for him as she talked to him about his anxiety just a little bit
 (my husband has vowed to NEVER go to a T to talk about his anxiety or anything for that matter - I think he could only benefit but whatever). There's a big part of me that feels really sad about not going to be able to see my T come the end of the summer (insurance reasons and I'm coming to a close on lots of issues). It's going to be really, really, really hard on me however I now feel connected to T in a different way. I feel connected to my T through my family now as she has helped me and my husband be able to help our son. Bittersweet and I feel a little less 'alone' about the goodbye I'm facing. I feel like I have a shared experience with my T and my family that I can carry with me. A transitional experience of sorts. I don't get on line as much as I would like these days... thanks as always for listening.

What a wonderful transitional experience to have! I'm glad you could view your T relating to the other important people in your life and get a larger picture like that. Are you going to save some money and go back to T later maybe, after the summer? I went back to see my T after several years away and it was even better, more productive than at first.

That's awesome geez!
A few weeks ago, my friend wanted to come into my session with me and she has a 1 year old that we also had with us. My T was so cute and sweet with her, I found a whole new respect for him. I LOVED seeing that side of him!

I would hope that when it's time for my T and I to end, that, although bittersweet, it will be a nice transition like yours.
