It is nice when our therapist share details of their real lives. For me, it makes them more human, rather than the person that lives in their office 24/7. My t would never volunteer information, but would probably answer if I asked (where she is vacationing). But I don't want to know in case I do go there myself one day. I don't want her to think I'm going there because she went there. I overthink all the time.
I do not know if I am prepared. I guess time will tell. Normally her two week summer vacation backs up to my one week --- which equals three weeks without therapy. This year we took the kids for a long weekend so I only missed Monday's session --- but we did that not because of therapy. I had to go to New York for business so we took the kids.
I found my t's parting comment funny in an odd sort of way. She said, "So I will see you a week from Monday." What an interesting spin. Today is Tuesday, so I will see her in exactly two weeks. "A week from Monday" is correct BUT she implys it's only ONE week when it's really two. Am I making sense?
AND now that I'm complaining ... I ran into this stinking client that comes after me. I HATE running into her. I have tried leaving down a different staircase, stalling in the bathroom, and she is always THERE. I almost stopped dead in my tracks and went back up the staircase until I realized she would eventually see me down the hall. She bugs me.
Enough of my rant.
Maybe I'm not doing too well. But I think I am okay.
