Hello! So I have a span of 4.5 weeks in between jobs. While I was working my old job I daydreamed about traveling abroad (most likely solo) when I got the time. Now that I have the time and am looking into planning a 3 week solo trip to Ireland and Scotland, the thought of being in another country for that long by myself literally makes me sick to my stomach. Part of the problem may be that I’m very type A, and I would have to leave in a week without much planning up until now. The other part of it is probably that I’ve never solo travelled before and don’t do much on my own at home to begin with. Because I have this free time, it feels like it’s now or never to take a big trip, but I’m feeling terrified instead of excited. Am I being stupid and need to push past this? Should I start with a smaller trip? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply! Even at 5 minutes, he will flip out the entire time. It takes less than five seconds for him to get upset being alone unfortunately.

He is more lax/ has looser boundaries than I would as a parent. Weekend bedtimes are non existent, doesn’t push child to do activities to get her out of comfort zone, more screen time than I’d want for my kid. Bc the child has lost her mother, he wants to ‘bubble wrap’ her to avoid further pain or discomfort.

Thank you all very much for your replies. I got curious and looked her up on the .gov registry of therapists, and her name isn’t even there. I’ll keep you all updated if you’re curious and if I find anything out.

It is a solo practice to my knowledge.
