Thanks everyone for your replies. I feel like I gave the impression he's texting every session, and he's not. Very sorry if I was misleading, I was very emotional when I made the post. What I meant was, I know he reads emails and is tech savvy, and I guess as pointed out I assumed he is also emailing texting clients. He's not texting throughout my sessions. It's happened a handful of times and it is never more than a 20 second distraction. I feel much better about things now, I really think a lot of this is me and my issues.

Part of my problem is not knowing how to confront him, if that makes sense. All that comes to mind is yelling something, or a passive aggressive comment, or downplaying it to the point it's like I never confronted him at all. I'll have to try now won't I!

I hope you talk to him about this. When you say he doesn't know how it feels-have you ever told him how it feels? That is seems like he doesn't care? That you hate feeling so needy? When he mentions he wants you to be more vulnerable-do you have an example? Would you tell him you are mad at him for leaving you to feel abandoned? That when you let yourself be vulnerable by reaching out to him, that it hurts when he doesn't respond to your e-mails for days?

Thank you, this was very very helpful. We're doing good work.

My therapist would never leave me in crisis like that. He is always there for me. :

I'm glad you get this feeling from your therapist! I'm jealous really, this sentence hurt quite a lot, because I don't really have anyone that I think would be there for me in a crisis, I suppose it would depend on the crisis. If the crisis is emotional, then yes, I've never felt I had someone who wouldn't leave me. I only emailed the therapist to begin with because I had no one else at the moment, it is extremely pathetic. Anyways, I'm done with my self pitying now... overall thank you so much!
