My T will be on vacation for a couple of weeks over the holidays and before I could even freak out about it she told me that I could see the other T from DBT group during those 2 weeks. I really like the other T a lot so it should be okay. Even though T set this up, I feel somehow disloyal. Because I'm Borderline I attach to people really quick and I'm afraid I'll think the grass is greener on the other T side. I really like my T and I don't have any issues with her so I'm not sure why this is coming up for me. Has anyone else ever gone through this? I've already set up the appointments for those 2 weeks so I need to get some clarity on this before I see the other T.

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

Well, I don't have that experience exactly, but I do have the experience of seeing Teacher T and T at the same time. It did feel weird at first - but now I feel like I have separate relationships with both of them, and I can actually be kind of attached to both of them in their own way, and it's okay.

I did have to process the whole thing quite a bit with T, though. So, maybe this is something you need to discuss with T before she starts her vacation, just for your own peace of mind??

I'm glad that you have someone you already know that you can see while T is gone - that's so unusual, and so good
