I remind myself that she doesn't email or text with other clients - I am one of the few.

It doesn't make much sense to me either... I'm sorry Soccer Mom. I mean, surely she knows that it's hurtful to respond... respond... respond... then suddenly, when something urgent/painful comes up... not respond? I think I'd feel very set up by that, plus I wouldn't be able to tell if she was not responding on purpose, if she was upset, if she didn't see the text, etc. It would make me nuts!
I guess I just don't get why she doesn't come up with some way to respond, without getting in depth... like, "I'm sorry you're dealing with that... let's talk about it more at the next session." or "That sounds important, can we address it in session?" - something like that, so she at least *acknowledges* what you've said, and let's you know that she knows it's important and you'll have a chance to discuss it more.
