Tuesday people! Will we miss 2 weeks?!

My T is taking the week of Christmas and New years off. So I won't see her for 2 weeks. It was hard last time for halloween and thanksgiving, but we'll see how I manage this time. I'll just stay absorbed in my interests the whole time .Maybe that'll help.

Got some good news! My T will be there Christmas Eve!! Its an 11:45am session because they are closing early but I don't care at least I will be seeing him. Thank god, because I don't think I could have gone three weeks or more without seeing him.

Turns out my T is planning to work the entire period apart from obviously Christmas and New Year. This means I can re-schedule which I'm relieved about. It'll still mean a longer break especially because at the moment I'm not sure if my plans will mean I can see her at all during Christmas week - but I hope the Friday afternoon may be possible.

Still happy to be around on a support thread though.

Yes, missing 2 weeks because I'm a Tuesday. I figure I will be busy though with family and trying to get out of the holidays unscathed!

I can probably have a phone call or two during the break. Is is possible to ask for this, if needed?

It turns out I won't miss any sessions at all! My T isn't working on the 25th or the 1st, but she will see me on the Wednesday after, on both weeks! I guess she's not going away.

Sunne, yes--ask for a phone call. If you don't ask, you can't get!

I hope everyone gets through okay. This forum is available every day. NO holidays allowed!!!!

Yeah, I didn't dare ask if my T would be able to see me at all during those two weeks. After he expressed his excitement about his vacation and how he "can't wait" I didn't even want to think about it.
I know that T's need and deserve breaks. Just wish that they would sometimes try to contain their relief to have a break from clients at least when talking to one.

Yes, that sounds as if your T was being a little insensitive... I'm sorry to hear that, murray. But you know it's not about a break from you, right? I've got some really lovely students I very much enjoy meeting with, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy getting a holiday. That's not because I need a break from those people, it's just nice to get some time when you're free to sleep in, or go on walks at any time of day if so inclined, or read books all morning if so inclined.

To clarify my post above, I am really not looking forward to two T-less weeks. It will be hard. But I think I may be conditioned to expect longer holidays so it was just a pleasant surprise that I won't have more than two T-less weeks - and since my H will be on holiday from Christmas to Epiphany, I wouldn't be able to go to T during that time anyway.

Doesn't "can't wait" in this context mean I can't wait to get there, as in on vacation?

Wanting to be on vacation somewhere exciting is not the same as I want to be away from here or more specifically, away from you. If he's aid I can't wait to have a break from all my clients, that is different.

Might you be over interpreting?

Thanks you guys. He's actually not going anywhere for his vacation, just having some time off. I'm actually not really upset about it, was just thinking it was a bit rough. Sorry if I made it sound as if I was really too upset about it. It was more one of those-groan- really T? moments. No biggie.

I'll be missing both weeks. I'm not too fluffed about it. Eventually, the point is not to need therapy so it's a good time to see how I can do without it.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - doesn't matter. She's gone for a month. Won't see her until 2013. But, it's o.k. I want her to have a break and enjoy herself.

I'm different. It's my issue. I told my T that the hardest problem that I have to work on is accepting that I'm not part of her life. She said "You're part of my life in HERE" (the office). So missing sessions upsets me very much!

I don't think you're so different in that respect. My T means so much to me, yet I exist to her in 50 minutes per week and beyond that it's her choice if she wants to get back to me or not. She often lately forgets things she said she'd do in between appointments. I struggle to understand how I build up a healthy attachment when it feels like I only exist to her within 50 minutes a week. So the two week break is at a really bad time for me too. It will be really hard. My T said to consider it as practice. I didn't ask at the time, but later I wondered, practice for what? Having nobody? I'm sure she just meant coping on my own. I want her to enjoy her break....but I'm worried about how I'll cope. She'll be so gone.

I'm back to being a Tuesday person. I am only missing the day of Christmas. I am actually seeing my T on new years day. I feel lucky.
