My t. is going to be on vacation soon and asked me what I thought might help me while she was gone.
Any suggestions? She is very open and very generous. I thought of asking her to give me something of hers to keep until she gets back.
When she goes on vacation I start thinking about terminating. I become really distant from her and tell myself to disconnect, I don't need her anymore, I am not going back to therapy when she gets back. It is almost like I have time to work my way back to my old ways of dealing (all alone), and I know her question is posed with the intention of keeping me connected to her while she is gone.
I want to be a baby in a way and say, "You think of something to help me while you are gone," because I know that whatever I ask her to do she will do and I want her to think of me on her own and come up with something.
This is the crux of my battle inside...needing her, wanting her....and wanting her to leave and me pushing her away. What do you guys think would help me while she is gone? If your t. asked you the same question, what would you answer?
