If you have trouble expressing yourself in-session, maybe it would be a good idea to write out what's going on and bring that to session -not necessarily to give to him, but at least for you to be able to reference and maybe in writing it out you will get a better handle yourself on what's going on.
I can understand how a therapist wouldn't want to address such big things by text --I really don't see how it's even possible. I do understand the need to contact, though. And sorry that the texting issue wasn't clear before -though, who knows what he'll say about it when you talk in session. I'm sorry he didn't have any times available, I think seeing him would have been best.
Maybe this will at least lead to a useful discussion on what to do in times like these -what the boundaries are and especially what would be most beneficial to you and why. Sorry this happened.
