How do you cope when you have a wonderful 8 years old bond with your T and you see each other every two weeks only?

i cant pay for more sessions and he agreed its good for me to just pay for what i can.

now, i cant get past drinking to overcome the pain and feeling of abandonment.

any ideas?

At one point I struggled with the wait between weekly sessions and have only been seeing T for 7 months. I found that keeping busy helped, even cleaning and going for walks to clear my head. I also got stuck in a rut with alcohol to the point it was becoming a problem. I've worked through that and rarely drink anymore. It only makes me feel worse.

I see my T twice a month too. That is all I can afford. I try to keep busy with activities like housework, gardening, walks or anything I find enjoyable.

The very same day of the last therapy session before the next one is the hardest. or at least this is true for me. do you agree?

I see my t biweekly, too. At this point I'm used to it and I don't think going weekly would be beneficial to me anymore, but at first the wait between two weeks was horrible. I've found that journaling helped me a lot. When I was missing my t, I'd journal in a way that mimicked me talking to her. It helped when I was really missing her.

I also make sure to keep myself busy if I'm finding the wait between sessions to be particularly hard. My last session was about a month ago, and because of schedule conflicts I won't see her until next week. I've had some hard life stuff come up during this break and it's been hard not seeing my t. So I've done everything from Netflix binges to picking up double work shifts to keep my mind off not seeing my t for so long.
