A lot has been happening in therapy lately. We've started to work through the very long list of guilt I have. When I had an anxiety attack a few weeks ago, it started a panic cycle I've been experiencing every session. I've been spacing out for a few minutes at least once a session, and can't focus on anything. I can hear my T talk but I'm not listening and I go somewhere else mentally. I've never had experience with disassociation so I'm not sure that is exactly what I'm experiencing, but my T thinks it is a little bit. He asks me what's going on when he sees me staring off for a couple minutes. By the time I'm there I can't really find the words to answer him.
Anyway, there has been so much coming up lately that we need to explore. So much with guilt and uncovering it, with the hope I can feel real sadness. We talked about how I get spacey, and he said "90% of the things I say are things you already know, but the times that you feel that panic when I say something are the times we know we are on to something"...so LOTS to work through. AND the best part is that he's going to be on vacation next week. So, I have a 2 week break and I hate that I feel so much right now and I don't know what to do with it. I'm also afraid that when I see him, it is going to take more time to reconnect and get back to where we left off. UGH I HATE BREAKS!!

((((((((((((SAFE BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))
Breaks stink. Can you think of doing something special for yourself to stay connected with your T while the break is going on? Maybe make a collage of some of those things you are now ready to work on? It will help you to keep working on therapy even while you are not seeing your T. |

I hate breaks too. My T is planning a 2 week vacation which translates into 3 weeks between sessions. In January we had a similar situation and it was o.k. but I hadn't developed the attachment that I have now.
I'm going to ask T if I can see one of her colleagues while she's gone - just to talk about the separation. I don't know how I'll be able to handle 3 weeks. Even now I count the days when I only have to wait 3 or 4 days. I wish I could be put under for that time period and wake up on the day of my next session. It's amazing that such a seemingly insignificant event can trigger such fear. I am blown away by my own reaction. I hate it. |

It sucks to have your T away when you need her/him near to you.

Maybe you can look at the break as kind of a vacation or something. No deep thinking. You don't have to worry before T...you don't have to spend days figuring out what happened after T. Do something special on T day, get a pedicure or a massage, or stay in your pj's all day and watch sappy movies....you time.
