My T has been very adamant about boundaries and does not like to share anything very personal other than some therapy disclosures. We had a couple of two week breaks in September due to her vacation and a conference she attended. This week I was really happy to get back to regular weekly sessions but she informed me that she had to leave town unexpectedly to attend to a personal family crisis. I am disappointed that I have another long break from her (and she will be taking the last two weeks of the year off too). I am torn between worrying about her even though I have no idea what her crisis is other than her comment "its really bad" and worrying about myself because I feel so alone and in need of therapy. She doesn't encourage emails or calls in between sessions. Is it appropriate to simply email her and tell her I am thinking about her? I also found that she recently got engaged on her vacation which she had not mentioned during our session. I feel kind of hurt by that and not sure if that is a legitimate gripe. Do I really have any right to that information? I would love to be able to tell her congratulations but since she hasn't told me, I can't really do that. This therapy relationship is really confusing to me. I know its supposed to be about me but how can I just ignore major things that are impacting her? I know a lot of you have similar struggles with T vacations, etc. so I hope you can give me some sage advice. Thanks.
