I have seen my T for six weeks in a row, and I have gotten used to that I guess. Every Friday at 4pm. This past Friday he had off because he was on vacation, so I won't see him until this coming Friday.
It feels like it has been forever, and I really can't wait to talk to him on Friday.
Do you think this is me being too dependent on him?

No! Not you being too dependent! Not by a long shot.
We get used to the structure of having our T there at a particular time each week & when they're not of course we are going to miss them. They become a part of our lives but not necessarily in a dependent way.
I see my T twice a week & hes away next week. Knowing that last time he went away all hell broke lose he's going to be interrupting his holidays to have set phone time with me. That is slightly more dependent than just looking forward to your T coming back and needing to speak to him. Besides you are dealing with potentially life changing stuff at the mo of course you're going to need someone objective and there to talk to.
Sorry, morning ramble.
Hope you're ok.

Missing your T is good! It makes it so you will show up on those hard to do therapy days!

I'm so glad we're not the only ones!!!! Our T had to put our appointments (son has first hour and I have 2nd...) on hold for personal things in her own life. It has only been a week but I have felt so mixed up with how distressing it has been, wondering if I am being overly dependent. The comments have made me feel better...Thanks for sharing! We miss ours too!

Heck! I am probably one of the least, if not the least emotional ones here, but if I don't each from my LC a couple of times a day - I can't function too well. I wait and can't do much until I do. Once I hear from him, then I know things are going to be okay and I can carry on.
My first therapist I really missed too even though I did not see her for too long and only talked to her once a week.
I bet my LC would say that it's like finally having a good parent that cares to have a good T.
Now the interesting question is... do they miss us.
