Because stuff like this happens - T's are non-responsive, sleeping, busy, have a crazy phone, etc, etc. And then client's end up feeling alone in a world of hurt. It's not fair. The best thing T can give you to work through flashbacks, is the ability to work through them on your own as best you can.
Stormy you are right. I definitely need a plan or some coping tools for dealing with this by myself. I really hope that my T calls me tonight so I don't have to wait until Thursday to talk to her about this.
