I saw your other post where you mentioned not getting the thank you card your T mentioned. I think it's possible that sometimes, when something like this email being unanswered becomes a really big, awful thing, that it can be because of a whole lot of times in the past when you've felt forgotten, disregarded, or ignored. My T too has made a lot of the same mistakes, and they have been really difficult.

I think it's really important to try to go back and deal with something that has become so big. I didn't go back with a plan, after my T forgot to get back to me after my first desperate cry for help in four years. I didn't know that I was going to be able to get in my car, or drive there, or park, or walk to the building, or get in the lift, and even when the lift doors opened, I didn't know that I was going to be able to step out of the lift. I did though. I think it's important to try.

I'm not even sure how much better the situation was for me after one session, but it was a start. It's all a little bit better now, but it's not great. I think I've still got a way to go. If I hadn't, then I guess the pain would have stayed with me for a long time until it was buried, along with all the other stuff that can't easily be accessed, or dealt with. Far enough away that it would be one more thing that no one could help me through. The next time something similar happened, I might not even remember why it was so much bigger still, compared to the last time it happened.
