It's nice to hear you're doing so well. The right therapist can make a lot of difference.

I'm glad your therapist understood the value of giving you a mental picture of him. I remember once I was being more than usually whiny, and complaining about my therapist leaving for a week for a conference. I asked him what the place he was going to was like. He accused me of changing the subject, and I explained that it wasn't really. That it would help me picture him when he was gone. He did understand, and painted a verbal picture of where he'd be. He remembered it too, in his future trips.

I can't say I stopped counting down the days. Maybe that's not all I do. But I manage to squeeze it into my other activities. It's great that you've moved beyond that.
