I am being brave tonight and sent T an email. I only email him occasionally and keep them very brief, just a couple of sentences, and they are usually about changing my appointment time. About half the time he doesn't ever respond, like about a week before my last appointment, I emailed him to request a schedule change and he never responded. (So I just stuck to the original time.) We do not do email therapy.
But tonight I sent him a much longer email--20 lines--tp follow up on a topic from our session. This is brave because I do not type personal stuff to him in an email. It's brave because if he doesn't respond to this one, it is a more personal rejection than not responding to a businesslike one about scheduling. I sent him something kind of along these same lines a couple of years ago, and it got ignored.
We'll see.
