Thanks for your responses. I've been seeing this therapist for over 3 years now and I've never quite been in this situation. Our vacations seem to coincide since we both have school age children, or maybe I've just been in better shape other times. When I first started seeing her my pdoc was someone who had been my therapist before and my therapist just made sure I had at least one appointment to see him while she was gone. My current pdoc is really just a meds consultant - I don't feel particularly connected to her and I'm not scheduled to see her again until mid July. However I could certainly call her if need arose.
It's not just the lack of back-up that concerns me - because I always do seem to weather things. I think it's maybe more that I'm sort of on the edge emotionally now and I need to maybe be talking to her about that and I feel reluctant to get into any discussion that can't be finished in the 2 sessions we have left before she leaves. I'm afraid that if we go down that road, she'll feel bad about the timing and I'll feel worse for having been left dangling.
Thanks again
Mair
