For me it causes a real problem with my therapist. Ugh. I feel like I am going to die, that I am nothing, that I can not function without him.

I am married and I could care less if my husband left and did not see him for days so I think it has to do with the person you have the most emotional connection with.

I felt like this for the first year and a half with my therapist. I felt like I could hardly bear to be apart from her, that I wouldn't know how to function in between sessions every week, that she would forget about me, etc. Finally we had a good enough relationship and I learned that she wasn't going anywhere and that fear started to go away slowly and now I don't worry anymore but it took a long time.

What is the longest you have been apart from her with zero contact?
