Hey y'all-hope you are doing well!

Ok...so in the beginning of June I explained to T that I will be covered by insurance that includes therapy. He said he could give me invoices to turn in to the insurance company as he does not bill. He said he could email me the info. So...I still haven't gotten them-this is after a couple of mentions in person and an email with all of June's info laid out for him-just needed the info from him so I could send it in...now T is on summer vacation from his day job as a therapist at a college...but he is seeing his private practice clients throughout the summer minus the holidays he is taking...I know he does not check his emails hardly while on break...but it's been a month...here is the email I sent-what do y'all think?

Hi T,

I hope you are having a good weekend! I'm sure a lot of it has been spent at the ball field : ) I hope your boys have good games!
I'm writing because I have to get this out-it's bothered me for too long now. It has caused me great anxiety and frustration and it has been a block to me in a way of therapy the past month. I didn't realize it until I had a panic attack about it...usually I can't figure out what causes them because it's usually everything jumbled together. I know what was at the root of it this time. I know you might think it's ridiculous-but I actually had a dream about it-where I was absolutely angry with you and you ignored my feelings in a dismissive manner.
Last session I was impatient with you-and I said it was because I was on my period and moody...that was partly the issue-but I'm also frustrated with you.
I have requested the invoices from June-since the beginning of June...it's been over a month now since you said you would be able to email me the info needed. I agree that a monthly thing would be fine...but I've explained that since I will be independent financially I can only continue therapy with getting my refunds. When I asked you said you could-now if that is not true-and it's a big pain in the ***-like you act like it is...then I honestly won't be able to see you anymore. So if it is-I need you to be honest with me and we can move forward accordingly.
I know you are on summer break-and I get that-and you probably have something in your consent form that says something about it...but it has left me feeling like its unimportant to you or too much of a hassle-because I explained I wouldn't be able to see you without this process and yet...I've Waited over a month. it's not just about the invoices it's about how it makes me feel...I would never want to be a pain in the ***-and I don't want you to be annoyed with me over this-but I couldn't stop from explaining how it bothers me. I also feel like if it were one of your clients that were couples or something that you wouldn't be so dismissive or forgetful or I'm not sure what it is...but you wouldn't put them off like you have with this with me. I just feel like in the professional realm I deserve that response from you or at least not a dismissive or no response-vacation or not...I've waited a month. I even sent you all the info I had laid it all out in an email titled "June Info"...and nothing. it makes me feel all kinds of emotions. Part of me is absolutely terrified of even saying anything and hates thinking you might be annoyed and that I will have to punish myself for even bringing it up. Then there is another part that's just like "dude, what's the deal?! I know you have trouble with this kind of stuff especially when you are busy or on vaca-but get it together! Gah!!!"
So, I will need the honest truth if we can do this or not...let me know-so if I need to I can start looking at going a different route. I just had to get this out because it's been bothering me. Thank you for reading (if you do get to this). Talk to ya later.

*Delicate*
