> Sorry your T is going away too. Pretty lousy timing for you hey?
Actually, I'm going away. Sigh. It's my own fault. But thanks.

> I think I need a long letter (a page or two) because I'll wear out a paragraph way too quickly. And I think it needs to be about how he cares about me or what he wants for me or things he still wants to talk about with me. So it feels like he does care and does want to come back to work with me. I get so lonely and feel totally alone when he's gone. I need the letter to help me feel less alone.I can see why his note wasn't what you wanted and also how it would be hard to ask him for what you do want. It sounds like you want him to validate your therapy relationship in order to hold that feeling close to you while he's gone. It may be that you will need to write this type of info down for yourself to keep it close. It's still about your relationship, whoever writes it. But I know. It would be so sweet and special to come from him. I treasure those tiny and rare moments when I really feel he cares and he somehow shows it.

> And yes, I know I should give him this post > And I will talk to him about seeing another T while he's gone. But I don't think he's gonna like it. If I get to know another T now it makes it easier to do a runner down the track. Plus I think he's trying to make it so I'm not left feeling abandoned when he goes. To try and counter beliefs around that.Ah, a therapeutic opportunity. Why are those usually so painful? Ugh. I know you'll do what's best for you however it turns out.
>But part of me still just wants to bite the bullet and get it over with.
I think that's only natural. Hopefully this will come around in therapy for you soon and you can find some relief.
