What is it with these one month vacations? Why can't they take two weeks like everyone else? Or better yet, several one week or six day vacations.
My therapist only went away for a month once, which led to a six week break from seeing him. It was awful. And at least he admitted that it was bad for me to be without him that long.
One time he tried to give me some bull about a two week absence being good for me in terms of letting me try flying on my own and I let him have it with both barrels. About how can he see say that twice a week therapy is good for me, except when it isn't convenient to HIM, then suddenly I don't need it and it will be good for me to try my wings.
Snort.
I'm sorry, but I do understand why people get upset at lengthy absences in long term therapy where a certain level of dependency is cultivated at other times.
