Oh, I understand- it's just a very long break. I had one of those last spring (one month) and my analyst suggested that I "keep him in mind". He said it was much better to miss him, than to get feeling alone, and have the feeling that he was no longer there at all. To help do that, I sent him notes and postcards almost every other day. It really did help keep him mentally and emotionally present, and he did not mind at all. he also said just what yours did- not to try to think of the abuse when I was alone.
I do wish you well during this time. From what you have said, I feel confident that you will be able to keep on making wonderful gains once she returns. It sounds like this interruption is coming at a particularly difficult time.
