Missing the Therapist

So last night, I went to visit some friends in Falls Church, they are helping with my move and this was my last Sunday here in NOVA. I hit the road for Houston, TX Thursday night. While I'm thrilled about the move a wave of sadness hit me. I wanted so much to be able to talk to my therapist one more time before I leave. However, she is on maternity leave until March. by the time she returns I will be long gone. I saw her last a few days before Thanksgiving. I felt a little needy that first week without an appt. but it passed rather quickly. So I don't quite understand why it all hit me last night. I guess with all the goodbyes I'll be saying over the next few days it got me thinking about her.

I did some journaling in my therapy journal and I took a lorazapam (which is rare for me to use) to calm my nerves. I relaxed soon after I began writing and I felt better. I'm feeling very unsure of myself for some reason right now. Just wanted to vent.

Maybe you could write her a card with your new address and an update?

Since you like therapy, if you haven't already tried it, I'd find a new counselor that specializes in DBT. I find it much more beneficial and effective over, talk, psycho, and CBT and psychoanalytic therapy...best of luck and hope your move goes well!
