How do you process the emotions of abandonment issues that arise when he leaves because of being deployed?

There is nothing that can be done about it he has to go. Who knows for how long they didn't say.

I have to deal with a new pdoc while he is gone and one that probably won't know as much about meds as my pdoc does. My pdoc knows what is going on in Europe with meds, what is going on in the FDA and how to use other meds off label. I like the repoire I have with my pdoc.

I am fearful that something will happen to him when he is over there and I will have yet another death of a mental health worker of mine die.

So how does one process these feelings?

jbug

You have a therapist too, don't you, jbug? Could you work with her on your feelings about your pdoc's leaving and your worries about his being in danger? Therapy is a good place for processing.
