But his policy is, he always responds in some way. Which I appreciate.
He only allows texts for scheduling, and he usually responds within a few hours for those.

To follow up on this, I ended up texting him (I acknowledged in the text that I knew I was breaking the rules) to ask if everything was OK. He said he'd reply to my email right away, and in the email, said he'd needed a break from his practice for a day. Which I completely understand. But this is also a case where I wish he had a separate professional email account, where he could have set up a sort of out of office message maybe? But it's the same as his personal one (same with cell phone). It just would have been helpful to get something like "I'm taking today off, will reply Sunday" for example.
He said other stuff in email, too, like acknowledging my anxiety. I imagine he'll charge for it all, and I respect that.
