I believe the
inconsistency is the issue here. It's not about whether email is appropriate or not: clearly in your therapeutic relationship, email is allowed and you've appreciated it in the past, as I do with my therapist.
So, I empathize with how hard it is to wait for a reply from someone who is so supportive and caring in our lives when we are struggling. I hope she clarifies with you what you can expect from her regarding emails and that it's a satisfying answer.
I think you have every right to discuss it with her and I am sure it is hard to confess to how important hearing back from her is, but... perhaps it will not be a surprise to her, perhaps she will appreciate your honesty and desire for clarity. They're all good therapeutic goals.
