\"Well, I'll see you in September...\" You know full well that\u00a0this sentence indicates your therapist's\u00a0early summer break, which always puts your stomach in the roller coaster mode. \"For the five years I've seen my therapist, I always have this little anxiety<\/a>,\" confirms Judith, 38. \"This doesn't last, fortunately, but I always wonder how I wouId do if I gave myself a small shot in\u00a0his absence.\" No, send him\/her a postcard instead and don't use caving in as\u00a0an option!<\/p>

The advice\u00a0of Fran\u00e7ois Perlmutter, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst: \"The psychiatrist's holiday break must not be experienced as a disaster, because therapy\u00a0is not an \"addiction<\/a>\". The therapist can give the number of a colleague whom\u00a0the patient may consult if necessary, based on the same rates and in the same time zone. But in forty years of exercising my profession, I had to respond to such emergencies maybe five times. Asking for your shrink's direct number? That does not seem like a good idea, because you will feel compelled to call whenever you feel the need to. Especially since the therapeutic work is also done by the\u00a0sessions, continuing to reflect on his side, which can make the absence of your\u00a0shrink bearable. This will certainly require some isolation and quiet time, but it is doable. As for the patient's holidays, they are also very important. It's to test the absence of their\u00a0therapist, listen to how one reacts to it (Do\u00a0I miss it? Does this bother me?) are materials from which we can work in September.\"<\/p>
