In reply to T's Vacation, posted by thewriteone on May 11, 2004, at 19:31:42
I'm going to through a somewhat similar problem with my T. He told me last week that he wouldn't be in town for the appt this week, and by that time (it was Friday) it was really too late to schedule an alternate appt. Alhtough my T has been really great, I felt so letdown by the fact that he didn't try to arrange an alternate appt with me.
When he sent an email reminder a few days ago about his vacation, I responded in a crappy way. Then of course, I felt bad about it. I keep telling myself that he's NOT my friend and I shouldn't expect him to bend over backwards for me, but the reality that I'm "just" a patient that can be put on hold really hurts. And well, I'll admit that my disappointment is compounded by the fact that I'm very attracted to him. (sigh)I was reading some of the other posts about asking a T for a momento of some sort, and that would have been helpful, but I never got the chance to ask. And I get the feeling he'd be put off by such a request...aarrgh!
