Hey all,
My T is currently out of the office for a few weeks (2 to be exact), but I literally couldn't sit here and tell you all how badly I am struggling. I haven't been able to sleep, or eat, since Monday. I really, really need to talk to someone, and have used up all the support I can from my own support system. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of finding a T to see for just a session or two while I wait for my real T? Plus, T is out of the country so she's not checking texts/emails. I am literally in hell. |

You could call either a national or local support community to talk about the issues hounding you. They're always available, regardless of day of the week, year, or time of day.

I have no personal experience of this, but I know that many people do contact an interim T for only one or two sessions while their regular T is away. There is nothing weird about doing that. I do hope you will reach out, and find the support you need.

Yes, I've seen other T's when my T was gone. It actually helped a lot. Absences are unavoidable, and it really helped me cope. T was ok with it too.
Plus, even tho both other T's were fine, it made me appreciate my T even more

When my therapist was out for a medical reason for 2 weeks, I completely lost my marbles, probably unconsciously related to her absence and the timing of my own personal issues. So, I did see a nurse practitioner/therapist for medication. The timing worked out well because I really needed someone to talk to due to a painful anniversary, even though I didn't know her and she really knew nothing about my biggest issues.

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry hope you're able to find a T to see while your T is gone.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
