I have a really good relationship with my therapist too. I'm also honest to a fault. I've never lied, and like you I've shared more in writing that I've been able to say. I have never had the same type of misunderstanding with my therapist, but at times something little has really shaken me up. At the time it has felt so awful. Knowing all that she know about me, how could we have ended up having that type of miss-communication?

It's never been as bad as I think, even though it feels so awful at the time. I think you'll find the same thing. Once you see your therapist and talk in person, it won't seem so dreadful anymore. Any number of things could have influenced her thinking from the week she'd had, to her own past experience. I think you'll find once you talk to her that she does trust you. It was just a misunderstanding. If you're allowed to call or email, and you haven't already said what you needed to say, and you're not able to hang on until your next appointment, then I'm sure it's okay to try again.

And although it never feels like a blessing at the time, I've found that surviving those sorts of things and working through them with my therapist has really helped me, and maybe made the relationship even better and more solid.
