My therapist of 2 years has been out sick for several weeks. We've missed 8 sessions. She's struggling with severe asthma. I don't doubt for a minute that she is ill, and that she wants to return to work as soon as she's strong enough. A week ago she sent a text to her receptionist so the receptionist could read it to me. I really appreciated that.

But then more time has dragged on, more sessions lost. T was supposed to return Monday; now it's "maybe" Wednesday (I'll be surprised if she's back before August).

Is it reasonable to expect her to send me an email, just a few lines, so I know we're still connected? Or, since she's sick, is it standard for a therapist to be in contact only when back in the office? (We don't text and very occasionally email.)

Has anyone been in this situation (a T out sick for more than 2 weeks, say)?
