Yes, he did receive the email on the Friday I sent it. He did not respond until Tuesday after I sent an email asking to confirm our appt. time. He confirmed it and said "I got your email on Friday . . ."
So it would seem he has a pattern of taking several days to respond. He may not respond outside of normal business hours which may mean tomorrow or Monday. Is it upsetting you more this time than last time?
I think you may need to talk to him to get a clearer idea of his idea of timely response versus your idea of timely response.
I do realize it is not easy to be waiting on the therapist to respond. I have an expectation that the therapist will respond within 24 hours except on weekends or some unusual situation (arbitrary perhaps - but mine nonetheless). The point of this being first the parties have to know the time frame for each other and then decide whether that time frame is reasonable for each of you.
