my therapist is taking maternity leave. we only have a few more sessions. she's been on annual leave and it back next week.
i have no idea how to say goodbye. i don't do goodbyes well. i'm scared to see her next week because i've slipped so far back since she's been on annual leave and i know she'll be disappointed. i don't what to do. i don't want to fall apart. i've got a card for her which i want to write on but don't know what to say. and i don't know what to say when i see her, next week and during our last appointment. i think i will be a mess, but i don't want to be. any advice/suggestions would be great... |

hey Quiet. Wow...that is really hard. I don't have any advice or suggestions...just to be honest I guess. How long of a maternity leave will she take? Will you see a temporary T in the meantime?

When my T went on leave for several months, I decided to write her a "book" while she was away. I didn't at that time but having a project related to T for the period when you are not at T, just make it all part of an experiment, a special practicum course where you see how well you're doing, what you need further help with, what you have learned, etc. and document it to give her when you all start seeing one another again?

((((quiet))))
How can you find out who will be taking care of you for the foreseeable future? Who, and how they will be doing it? Where, how often, can you afford it, all that? Maybe when all that's not tumbling around in the back of your mind, you'll know how to handle this situation? Roadie

I will see another DBT T who works with her. I've started seeing her while my Ts been on annual leave. I don't trust her or feel comfortable with her though. I will see her weekly until I finish the DBT program in November. After that I'll get referred to another T. But I won't see my old T again.
The DBT program was helping except now I feel like it was wasted because of how I am now. Things have slipped so far back that I'm scared to talk about some things. I am really seriously considering leaving the DBT program. I can't keep doing it when my new T makes me feel worse everytime we talk. |
