Sounds like process failure to me. Why should you the paying customer be put into distress mode directly by the process, and then have to grovel for attention or feedback? I went through this. Was humiliating.
Seems many therapists just shrug their shoulders and say... I dont do email so talk to ya next week. Or if lucky you get a terse robotic response. This is rationalized because the therapist "has a life".
It's unethical and crazy to orchestrate a process that is known to provoke addictive or compulsive behavior, then have no means for dealing with that behavior. Better not to even start such a process.
