Is that the way it happened? If so, I too would think that yr T should respond; but then again I wouldn't hesitate to ping again and say, ahem, I said I was sorry for being late, but where were you? I came and you were not there?
just speaking for my T, I would absolutely expect her to hold that hour for me, even if traffic or something held me up for 15 minutes or even more. if I am truly a no show I will be charged for the hour, and I know that, but responsibility cuts both ways.

Yes, you understood exactly what happened sawe.
Thank you. I wondered if other people would expect their T's to wait for them. (forgot to ask that.) I also wonder how long people would expect their t to wait.
My t has a tiny little, nearly empty room with no computer. He has another job where I assume he has a computer. So I understand that he might not want to wait in that tiny room for an hour by himself. I thought 15 or 20 minutes was probably reasonable to wait. If not, I would think he'd at least take responsibility to respond to my email. Maybe he will, but I'm getting less hopeful of that.
I was having a lot of doubts about whether I should be doing therapy anyway, and this is reinforcing them.
