Just an update--my therapist did call me back today. I was able to update her on a couple things and connect for about 20 minutes. This in and of itself shows she cares for me. I'm taking that in and absorbing it.

One thing I noticed was that connecting with her actually made me miss her more. I've been working so hard on coping well in the middle of being triggered by several key things in my life. I just want to crawl into my secure attachment (my therapist) and rest there. Sometimes I feel shame that I need her so much, but another therapist friend I know says, "Of course you feel that way, she is your secure attachment. You didn't have that with your mother or father."

Thanks for the support from everyone. Does anyone else struggle with their attachment to your therapist?
