Thank you for taking my post the way it was intended. After I wrote it, I was afraid you would think I was being critical. Not at all. I completely understand! I think if we were able to realize that sometimes words are just words, we wouldn't be in therapy! I do think you shouldn't expect a good excuse, because really, if our therapists wanted to be such a way, we really should only expect their time during sessions. It's nice you have a therapist who somewhat "includes you" by saying she would Email when she gets back, so you don't worry. (Thank you for including the not worrying part, now I really get why this meant a lot to you!)

Are you angry with her about this, or were you already angry with her beforehand?

Please bring this up tomorrow! It's so important your therapist does not throw out empty promises if she's not going to keep them. It sounds like overall, you have a very good relationship with your therapist. It would be so helpful for you to discuss this with her tomorrow and remind her that checking in isn't because your nosy, it's because you worry. What she told you could have been a figure of speech for many, but she needs to know you take it seriously and she need not say things like that if she's not going to follow through. Good luck!
