I do understand because I'm either living it now or trying to prepare to live it. I'm so sorry you can't have any contact with your T. That has to be hard. It does sound like you two did a lot of work around maintaining the connection and I like all of your ideas very much.

In my last session before she was out for what turned out to be 9 weeks, I took in a little figurine my T gave me years ago for my birthday. Then I asked if I could trade it for something in her office, which she allowed me to do. She laughed and said, "A transitional object. What a wonderful idea! Wish I'd thought of it." It did help me and I suspect the other things you and your T did will help as well.

But the bottom line is they won't be there in the same way, isn't it? I also understand why you are not in therapy -- that's my plan as well because therapy, for me, has been all about the connection to this T. But I don't have a good plan for what to do when my brain chemistry kicks in or during a crisis. I'm sorry you're having a hard time right now. Wish I could help some way.

I will be thinking about you. You've been incredibly helpful to me.
