I hate when you email and think, "damn don't they get where I am and how important just a simple reply would be right now!" In these instances it hard not to let your mind wander through thoughts like..They know your suffering but are deliberately torturing you with silence, they're silence is telling you DEAL WITH THIS STUFF ON YOUR OWN!! ... Or what you said was really out there and they didn't know how to reply..or You've exceeded your email quota for the week.... All of these things go through my mind when I encounter silence.
Silence really runs a muck sometimes. Do you thing Ts understand this and just think...tough, sucks for you? Or do you think they just don't get it? Or is letting you deal with the discomfort of silence some therapeutic strategy (some CBT technique or something).
I guess I will never know...because I never have the guts to ask during the next session, "Hey, how come you don't email me back when I really need to here SOMETHING from you?"
