I emailed again because of a scheduling change, and also asked if she was busy, or didn't get my email, or maybe didn't respond because I said I was satisfied. She wrote back on Friday that she has been working really hard, and also because I said my parts were satisfied, and she said she was sorry.
My adult self understands and is fine with her reply. No problem at all. My T is a good T and I'm glad she is helping so many others. But little Rainbow is thinking: why did she have to tell me that she worked really hard? What does that even mean? She saw more people than usual? Other clients were challenging? It bothers me. I probably won't mention it because I don't want to jeopardize email again. My T would prefer not to email at all but she is doing it because I asked her. I also told her I wished she would sign her emails the way I want, and she did. I hope I'm not being obnoxious! She could have refused in both cases. Just wondering about stuff before I fall asleep....

Yes it would have bothered me because I wanted to be my therapist's only patient!! Just me, little Pam. Don't want to share her with anyone else!
What would bother me more are the "e-mail agreements ". If we make an agreement, then you better stick to it or I will have a tantrum.
The needy, clingy baby needs that I had for her- when those weren't satisfied -and they never could- that was a recurring problem for us. This was one of the many things that led to my terminating with her.
The needs that could never be met. Not by her. Only by me.
