Why is it that if someone on this forum does not hold the opinion of the majority and makes valid comments, that they are somehow "diagnosed" with something instead of just leaving the response for what is is: A different perspective on things..
It seems this happens a lot when a person does not completely agree with the OP or offers a more distant view on things or doesn't encourage the OPs feelings 100%.
I actually agree with a lot you have said, littlemeinside.
Therapy IS a tool to help us learn to be self-reliant and to manage our life outside therapy.
I email my therapist too, but I don't expect her to reply right away (although she usually does) but if there is anything in my email that suggests I already have the answer, she tells me.
I understand the feeling of disappointment when we reach out to our Ts and don't get a reply for a while, but usually we know where that feeling comes from. We know it's our way to check if the therapist is dedicated to us, cares about us, is interested in us. And we are very afraid of rejection and abandonment. But if a therapist doesn't answer our emails right away, does it really mean we should question their integrity or professionalism? Perhaps they feel that by answering they would encourage a dependence that they don't feel is a good thing for the client.
Perhaps they want to encourage us to be strong and draw from what we have learnt - which is an important part of therapy!?
Not every email we send is an emergency, not every response is necessary to our survival or wellbeing.
Sometimes, not answering emails forces the client to survive all by himself and usually we will - survive. Sometimes it even helps us to find a very important strength in ourselves..
It's not always about boundaries, sometimes it's just a therapist's way of helping us!
