I consider myself something of a hardass and even I would not refuse written communication.

Maybe I misunderstood then. I thought the T had times when she was quiet in the moment and the silence was being perceived as something very different.
I didn't understand that the T sat there continuing to be quiet while she could see she was clearly in distress. If that's the case then that is different. But Ts do often sit quietly if a client isn't talking. If that is upsetting and the client expresses this then the reasons behind that should be discussed.
