I have known my therapist was going on vacation for awhile, but now that the time has arrived I am completely falling apart. She will be gone for two weeks. I was honestly thinking I was fine until this afternoon. I had my last appointment with her (until she comes back) today. Then, I got up to go get a snack. My cat had been napping on my legs so I said "don't worry I'll be back" to my cat and I just broke down in tears. I sobbed to my cat that I really meant it and I wouldn't abandon her and then that changed to begging my cat to make sure our therapist comes back from vacation. I e-mailed my therapist and got a nice reply back but that doesn't change my fear that she won't ever come back. Does anyone else worry about that when their therapist goes away? Any tips on how to manage the unsupported time? I am not totally dependent on my therapist, I have skills, I just don't like people going away or going away from people.
