Nervous Puppy - just wanted to say that I can really identify. I emailed old T back in July when I started seeing new T (I haven't seen old T in 7 years, but she said I could contact her, etc.) for a copy of an important consultation report that I thought she might have.

Nothing. Quiet. No response. It was a little bit heartbreaking.

I emailed her again recently (I actually forwarded the old email, and mentioned that I wasn't sure if she had gotten it or not). I know she has problems with email sometimes, and it turns out she didn't get the message. So, she just sent the report... so it worked out, eventually. But I had to "ping" her when I didn't hear anything.

It may be that old T has to look for the file, and doesn't want to reply until she knows for sure if she has it. Or it might be that the chemo is making her a bit tired and forgetful. I believe that by law therapists have to keep your file for a certain amount of time after you stop seeing them, but I don't know the details. Still, if you've seen her fairly recently, it's a safe bet that she's kept your file... unless something crazy like a flood/fire destroyed everything (which you'd probably know, since you're getting therapy in the same building!).

Hang in there.... try not to let yourself come up with too many possible negative interpretations... remind yourself that you don't know what's going on with this T right now, and until you hear something back, you can't really *know*.

I hope she gets back in touch with you or your T soon though! Waiting can be torturous!
