Would you feel the same way if you found out your T was ill, dealing with a personal crisis, a family emergency, or just didn't receive the texts? I have gone through the same thing multiple times. I still haven't heard anything back from my T after I sent two text (one clearly asking about rescheduling) from three days ago. I've discussed the issue with my T before. How her forgetting made me feel, how it made me feel even when it's very reasonable that she forgot, or even if she just didn't receive my texts. She's told me she will get back to me if she can, if it's intrusive (ouch, but at least she is taking care of her own needs) then she won't reply. She says's she'll do her best to reply if she can (but I think she dosen't want to get my hopes up too high that she always be able to reply). I too can go a long time without texting. I didn't ever initiate a text, phone call, email or anything else for more than three years in the beginning. I don't often ask for things outside of appointment times. It does hurt so much to feel like the rules have changed. I do understand that. My T has recently changed a boundary that I never pushed, because she (and her supervisor) decided what she was doing might be too "friend like". What she was doing before was beginning to help more than anything else. So I do understand the feeling of abandonment and the confusion. With the texts though, being very sensitive about those sorts of things myself and still managing to survive, I do think it needs to be talked about. Because so many things could have gone wrong and it's important to at least fully understand what happened and why you weren't contacted back this time.
