Some T's need to do self care and have rules for themselves not to return clients/patients emails on the weekend. They need down time too. I am grateful my T will respond to me if he is able. He does not hate you and he is not playing a game to tease more out of you. It is never bad as you think it is. Do make sure you have clear instructions for the next time this happens.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
