Yes, my T and I have an agreement and normally I don't expect a response. The thing is - she has always responded in the past when the issue is BIG - when my emotions are blazing hot.
So, I believe she set me up for expectation because that's been her pattern - to not respond when it's just thoughts or mild emotions (although sometimes she does anyway) and to respond when I'm in a real emotional crisis.
I'm a good client, I believe. I do not pester her with texts. Like I mentioned before, I can go months without contacting her out of session.
