I have had a few T's in the last 10 years (NHS like to provide only short term therapy which doesn't work because by the time you get a therapeutic relationship going, it is over), but I've never really cared much about them taking holidays or not seeing them or when it has ended (with 1 exception we both cried when it was over for different reasons- she felt guilty and I was left to deal with everything alone again).
So I went private. The new T I've been seeing for 4 months is not working at the moment she has been off since the 18th December and isn't back until 5th Jan. Weirdly, I actually miss her. Which is new for me. I found myself looking at her web page yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My therapist has been gone for over a month a couple of times, and I found myself missing her a lot...

I always miss my T. I think its bound to happen when you care about someone.

There have been times when my T was gone on extended leaves where I would start an Email, and just add to it daily/as I wished, mostly things I would have talked to her about if she were here and we were in a session. I haven't done it lately, but once she realized I did that she always wanted me to Email it to her when I was done. I think she got to the point she was expecting a long Email/journal of sorts when she gets back. I don't really do that anymore.

Missing someone is part of the connection. It's what someone does with the missing that's important.

To be fair, I could also be missing her due to the fact that I have really needed to talk to her about some things that have happened over the Christmas period.
I have been struggling with it quite a bit. I don't really have anyone else I can go to with this. I don't have many friends and I don't tend to tell them I have a mother who is a shade short of evil. I have emailed her a word document about what happened and a subsequent letter I've written, but as she deserves time off have only sent them with a one liner that she doesn't have to open them or read them until she is back in the office on Monday.

It sounds like you are more attached to this T than you were to the others. I think the attachment is probably a good thing and makes the relationship more therapeutic.

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