Its very unusual for my T and I to not email or speak to each other for a whole week between sessions. There is usually some contact, even when he is away. This past week, I have been sick and so wrapped up in my body, doctors, trying to get well physically I have let my emotional issues rest. I emailed him last night, seeing him today. I simply said, "Silence between us"
Here is his response. I cant help but read more into this
"gap" he refers to and I'm trying to figure out how to define his comments through his eyes and mine. I think this gap is not simply lack of contact between sessions. I think our relationship falls into a gap in other ways.

Therapist:
"It is quiet. That is true...but, I still sense that even though there's no word, either written or spoken, that what is in the gap that we hold as our relationship is active....

I still feel an emotional humming....I'm still here as I feel you are...the "silence" still has depth and a presence don't you think...?....
