Good distress tolerance skills! Planning distractions to fill the day sounds like a great idea. And it sounds like your appointment is for early Tuesday? (I wonder if "What About Bob?" feeds your fear of angering your therapist. I've never seen a therapist get *that* angry with a patient. Maybe you should balance it off with one of the tales of wonder therapists like K-Pax or Ordinary People.)

I've usually cut myself off from all emotions (and had too many forgetting sleeps) at this point in my therapist's absence and am wondering vaguely what on earth I need a therapist for. I spend the first session or two when he's back trying to remember.

I'm sorry you're feeling so rotten. Tuesday should prove a very productive session as you process the experience.

Did it help to hear his message? I can't figure out why the answering machine message is so powerful. Mine made a meditation tape for me that is much longer, but lacks the value of listening to his answering machine message.
