Hi Everybody
My t is on holidays and I am feeling a bit lost. And ticked off that she gets a holiday from me but i don't get one from her!!
I feel a bit lost as I was just getting used to having this talking mirror in my life. and being able to see more things about and within myself. trouble is now that she is away how do I know what I am seeing?
I get so frustrated with myself and other people and I can't tell if I am over reacting or this is actually an emotional response. (a new thing for me) I am concerned that I am going to hurt my friend because she is not used to me being more reactive. Especially when she hurts my feelings. I did try to tell her but she shooshed me like a child which increased my anger. We were in a group so I l let it go but it feels like a splinter that I need to get out. Cue some obsessive thinking.
And then I get upset to think I need a t to have a friendship. Surely I managed without one before...
So how do you all manage when your T goes away? Am I expecting my friend to be as understanding as my T? That is whatg is bugging me..

The break was not my choice. Or my T's in some ways as it is school holidays and she does not work school holidays.
I feel dependant and I don't like it. That my view of the world has changed but not enough to be useful without my T to show me where I am missing bits

It is difficult when there is a break in the therapy process for me as well. My t is currently on vacation but so far, I am doing good. But I do understand that feeling you are describing.
