That is kind of what sucks about therapists. If a friend or family member said they would call, text or Email "later," and they don't, it's not a big deal. But when therapists say something, and hey, I've been guilty of feeling this way too, "the Gods have spoken," and it better happen.
Here's hoping you received your Email this morning, if you don't though, I don't think your therapist requires a good explanation for you as to why, although I think I might possibly remind the therapist during my next session that words, statements, "promises" (whether intended to be or not) can be taken very seriously in therapy, and that she might not make statements such as this that she might forget to follow through on. It can cause a great deal of hurt that frankly, doesn't need to happen if the therapist would be more careful with their words.
Some of us depend on our therapists (me included) more than we should.
