Missing you tonight

This is for anyone tonight who is missing their T's. For anyone who is having some trouble getting through until their next session. For anyone who cherishes their connection and safety with T and is yearning for those feelings. This is for anyone who is thinking about their T and what they are doing right now, wishing they could be apart of it. For anyone who's T is away and there is a stretch between sessions.

I am going through it as well.

We miss you, T's. You will be in our hearts until we can see you again.

I am also going through a time apart from my t, I have missed four sessions because she is on emergency medical family leave, in the four weeks that she has been gone she has emailed me three times. She is supposed to come back monday so for once I will be in a hurry for the weekend to be over.
It is so very tough to be away from our Ts when we have such a close connection I have experienced the feeling of abdonment and a whole other range of feelings during this break and T always says it normal when she emails me.

I am amazed at all the posts I read about the connections everyone has with their Ts...It almost baffles me and I don't understand it. That closeness you guys feel for/about them and the attachment and the trust you have in them. You even miss them btwn sessions. I just started therapy, which is why this amazes me. Is this something normal that occurs over time? I don't get it and I am extremely curious about this....the thought of getting this close to someone terrifies me.

That touched me, krazibean. How true. I hold him in my heart.

I am strongly attached to my therapist, and because of that, we have made a lot of progress. It is amazing! I had a different therapist before him and I was not attached to her. We still made some progress but not like with my current T. I believe that my closeness and trust with my current T have been essential to the success of my therapy. It is different for everyone, though. You are just at the beginning, you can just watch the relationship develop. If you aren't ready to be close to your T right now, that's OK.

I hear you Krazibean. My next session isn't until January

Lifelesstraveled, it surprised me, too. It took a long time but now I do feel connected to my T and do miss her in between sessions. Different people's therapy goes in different directions, so who knows what lies ahead. I agree with Sunrise, go at your own pace and just see what comes up for you.

my T doesnt even email me back,she told me bluntly she doesnt check her emails
