Usually my therapist goes on vacation and I feel really afraid that she will not return for some reason or another. This time I went on vacation and had to fly in a plane which is so terrifying to me. The flight was 5 hours long and the Ativan was not working very well. When I landed I left my therapist a voice mesaage telling her how afraid I felt and asked her to leave me a voice message on my cell phone for my returen trip home. (I am capable of transferring messages to from my cell phone to my iPod which is great while in flight). I needed a message that could help to calm me down while in flight. Sometimes just hearing her speak to me is calming and reassuirning. And she came through for me...she left an awesome message that I did play while in the plane along with some books she had recorded for me on my iPod. While I was still afraid hearing her voice was comforting. She seems to always come through for me.
