Reply to "Contacting T when they're on holiday... Would you / do you?"

My T has called me away on holiday before, and my other T I can contact her any time - holiday or not.

How my T explained it is... She'll answer when she wants to. When she is in a space and time to. So I'm not burdening her using what was offered - it's her problem if she feels invaded or annoyed... She can make another arrangement next time and can control herself to have a loving reaction with me when she makes the decision to.

We don't "make" our Ts (or anyone) do anything. Contacting her won't burden or hurt her vacation... She will take care of herself and can remove herself from your problems. Good Ts keeps themselves separate from our stuff and won't do anything they can't or don't want to.

I still get guilt because I do have the feeling that I can somehow "cause" my T to make a choice. How I have alleviated is being reminded by my Ts that they are separate people with separate lives and choices. As my T said... It's not a big deal for her to call me back if she has time... It doesn't hurt her because I'm with me 24/7 she's only there temporarily.

I don't think your Ts holiday will really be impacted. If she offered I'm sure she has her boundaries.
