Therapists And Vacation

[samson]

Hi everyone. I am currently 6 months into emdr therapy for depression caused by ptsd. My appointments are on Monday so it hits a few holidays. I usually just skip that week instead of trying to rearrange my schedule to go another day of the week. It's so strange how it affects me. I can be having a really good week, but when Monday comes and goes and I don't have therapy it's like I fall apart. Does this happen to anyone else? It's like my brain is trained that we will get to unload and process things on that day.

I think it is really hard if you are doing something that is helping you and then you cannot go. It is a big let down and dissapointment. I hope you can plan some things to do just in case you cannot go on your regular time. It sounds like you really are getting good results out of your therapy. I wish you the best. Good luck.
