I have mixed feelings about going back after the summer break.
On one hand I know I'll be pleased to reconnect with T, on the other, it's the traveling to and from.

Oh well. Such is life.

I think I felt similar. I thought, well I'm missing seeing, her, but I miss seeing her even when I am seeing her (in between sessions). I also felt that my stirred up emotions had settled down during our overlong break (it felt overlong to me). I asked myself, do I really want to go back to that? The answer was yes as I think it has helped me so much, and also therapy has taken away an aloneness that I didn't realise I had.

Does therapy 'take away' issues?
I'm not questioning you. It was just a thought I had as I read your reply.

What do you think?

That's a thought provoking question. I think I see what you are getting at, that that need is still there, but it feels like she has filled that need for now. I imagine that when I stop with her the aloneness may still be there, but will hopefully be a bit diminished, because I will be better connected with other people in my life (I can feel that happening).
