How do you feel about seeing your T again after vacation? How does the first session (and the next few sessions) go? How do you feel after session?

If you feel disconnected, how long does it take for the feelings of connection to return? Has anyone quit when a T has returned?

I just saw my T today after a 2 week vacation and the session was awkward, and uncomfortable, like I was under a microscope. I left feeling embarrassed and depressed. I spent the rest of the day in bed, not doing anything. My T seemed a bit disappointed and confused that I had lost the feeling of connection while she was away.

What have your experiences of T returning been like?

I'm always glad to see mine when she returns. No problem jumping back in.

Usually takes me a good part of the session to begin to feel connected to her. It's uncomfortable too... The awkward silence that goes on.

Wary. But I am wary around the woman all the time -so it really is not all the different.

for me it varies. I guess today we'll find out. T1 just got back from vacation, and I see her for the first time today. I have a hard time explaining how it feels, but sometimes....well....awkward perhaps. Other times it feels normal, like she was never gone. I hope I feel that way today...just kinda picking up right where we left off. But honestly, I don't remember where we left off! lol

It's usually okay. We pick up where we left off or start a new topic.

Really weird. But it fades fast

I just had a break from T for three weeks and I felt disconnected, too. I'm trying to get the connection back but it is difficult. You can't control whether you feel connected/disconnection, so I'm sorry that your T seemed disappointed. I'm guessing it takes awhile to get back to normal.

Current T had a break of three weeks and I felt I became a little bit disconnected during that time. But the first session after the break was just like always, like there hasn't been a three weeks break.
I have felt that the longer the break, the more chance I will feel more and more disconnected to T. But with PrevT and with current T, if I go in the room the first session after a break, it all feels like ''normal'' again. Like there wasn't a break.
The longest break I had was 4 weeks. Now there has been a break from PrevT for 20 weeks and I feel totally disconnected. My doubts grew bigger and bigger and now I'm almost totally convinced she doesn't like me anymore. She might be back at work next week. I've no idea how I will feel and react when I see her. I don't know if she will be my T again, but there will be at least a few session to talk about my feelings that have to do with her.

Current T gave me a small object before her vacation which could help me to keep the connection to her. I feel I can get disconnected really fast. And also jump in really fast like no break has happen. Not sure if that's good or.
