It has been two months since my therapist and I have been able to talk on the phone at all because of really tough stuff going on in her family. We are overseas from each other and different sides of the world which further complicates things. But it looks like the waiting may finally be coming to an end, i got two emails from her this week about how she is still mentally exhausted but things are clearing up with whats been going on. I really hope so. This has been a really long wait.
And to think i used to freak out with my first therapist when she took "a whole two weeks" off for summer holiday. Two weeks would feel like nothing now.
So hopefully soon. I hope. This waiting has been driving me crazy.

The only thing is, it is very hard to trust her now. I feel likei cant believe anything she says. It is going to be a long time before she can regain my trust.

I'm glad you've had contact with your t. I hope you get some relief from hearing from her.

How do you cope with the long periods between calls with your T? I just found out my T is going on medical leave for an unspecified period of time. It will be at least 2 months, but could be longer. I don't know if it's better to try and push T out of my thoughts and try not to think about her-- or whether it's more helpful to talk about her, think about the good times with her, etc? Do you have any advice?

I really hope the call with your T comes soon! You deserve it!

Keeping you in my thoughts, hope things work out soon. (((((((((Hugs)))))))))

I hope the trust can be regained xx

I got three emails from her this morning. She is sounding better and is joking around a little again, more like her old self. She is still exhausted from what she has been through.
So no phone call from her yet but it really helped to have those emails this morning.

I really try to just keep busy, which isnt hard in my line of work. During the day i am ok because i am so busy, at night time it is harder.i read a lot. I play with my dogs. I spend time with my husband. My t and i have made a bunch of videos together, sometimes i watch those, and she has sent me videos of her also, that helps some. Mostly i just try very hard to keep my brain occupied.
