I'm so sorry you've been so hurt by your relationship with your previous psychiatrist/therapist. He really was in over his head and said and did some horribly hurtful and emotionally painful things in the course of your relationship with him. I do understand how difficult it is to even think about starting a new therapeutic relationship, but I guess I'm a bit unclear about your relationship status with this new T. Have you had a face-to-face initial meeting with this T? Did the two of you discuss the boundaries of this new relationship? For example, did you both talk about out of session contact? Are emails and texts something you will be exchanging over the course of your new therapy? I would think that if those things haven't been established, you can't really start expecting responses to emails or texts until those things are carefully and fully discussed and agreed upon by the two of you talking and negotiating how things will be. By emailing and then getting upset about not getting a response, you're jumping to conclusions and having a one sided conversation with yourself only.

I'd suggest calling his office, not emailing or texting, and if has a receptionist, leave a message about wanting to make an appointment for when the T returns from vacation. If there is no receptionist, only an answering machine, leave a message saying the same. From what you've posted in other threads, you indicate that emailing, texting and phoning your previous T repeatedly lead to major ruptures in the relationship. I am NOT saying any of that is on you because from the sounds of things, he never took the time to establish and maintain good, healthy boundaries. By emailing now and getting anxious because you haven't gotten an answer, you're setting yourself up for needless anxiety, resentment and unhealthy anger at someone who needs to sit down face-to-face with you to discuss and determine how your relationship is going to unfold. This new relationship can work, just step back a little and wait for him to return. Then talk about how the TWO of you will handle the communication in this relationship. Good luck!
