Tree,
I know what you are saying and my T always responds. Sometimes a few days later but she will.
Last time it took her like 4 days and she said she doesn't mind my emailing at all because I understand that she may not be able to answer right away.
She brought that response up in session once, and I said, actually my mind was spinning waiting for a response from you. After that I noticed she responded much faster no later than 2 days but usually only one. This time nothing at all. Maybe it's because she already responded to an email of mine this week. Maybe she only wants to respond to one a week, I don't know. She never told me that anyways.

Sitting,
I am thinking that she will discuss it in session. Now I am way to nervous about it after not hearing a response. At least a simple response like I think this will be a good one to discuss in session, something. No response at all makes me think she's not into it. Guess I will find out.
She did tell me before that she went to counseling for 7 years herself before but I never asked why.

Chaotic,
LOl, I guess they can't keep up with all of us. I am beginning to wonder myself if a single T is better at keeping up, you know no family, so more time.
It just leaves me thinking that one hour is it, so too bad for anything outside of the session. Which makes me afraid to even call her, even though she said I could if I needed.

Yet, she does ask me what I need from her, and I can't voice it, sometimes I don't even know. I did tell her that email was huge for me and that was one need. In reality, how much can they do. I feel silly when she asks that because the reality is, everything is pretty much confined to that room.

As to your question, I think they don't get it. Maybe not unless they have had similar experiences, then maybe they would.

LOL, I wish I had the nerve to say what you mentioned about not responding as well but I don't want to come across as needy, so I refrain.
This next session is going to be torment to enter.....
