I am feeling inspired by you, mcl. After telling me she'll respond to emails within 12 hours, my therapist has still not gotten back to me 3 days later. She knows I've got therapy anxiety because of my last rotten experience and told me it was very important to her that our relationship not cause me grief, hence the 12 hour rule. I reached out to her because I was in pain. I, then, wrote 2 more emails on the subsequent days saying I was bothered that she wasn't living up to our bargain.

I know she read them all directly after I sent them because the subject lines go from bold to regular type in my outbox once the provider opens the email. I do not want to go through this c rap again. I can have people be unreliable in real life. I don't need it done professionally. I feel like if she doesn't get back to me by the end of the day, that's it. I'm done. Maybe I'll try another therapist someday, but it's gonna be a while. I do not enjoy the drama. Your path tempts me.
