There are a lot of similarities to our situations.
Transference with old therapist who didn't know how to deal with it.
Experienced new therapist who can deal with transference
Those d***ed vacations!!!!!
Just after my new therapist did his 20 minutes of magic he went on vacation for 2 weeks. He wasn't leaving right away, so he did see me on the Monday that began his vacation - I feel lucky. I'll see him in 3 days 2 hours and 45 minutes. He gave me his cell phone number so I could call if I needed to. Of course I don't want to call him on vacation. I'm managing, but even though I haven't been seeing him for very long, I need him. I also need my old therapist. I think I need the new one because he helps me deal with not having the old one.
Three weeks is a very long time. Will you know how to cope? Do you have emergency coverage? At least Babble will be here!
You have kids, right? I find that one of the greatest distractions is to do something with my kids. I find it hard to be motivated to do stuff for me, but I can pull it together to do things for them. Plus, they make things more fun.
Hang in there! Each day you make it through is one fewer day before he gets back from vacation.
