I am sorry for the ordeal. Personally I find it curious that you don’t correspond to her directly via cell and she never texted you, I assumed it’s a norm. Clearly I am wrong. I am not saying having a chit chat but simple text? Does she want these strict boundaries or you? And why would she not check emails until she gets to work? Is she ancient? But still everybody checks emails. My dad is 83 and he checks emails daily.

I understand being hesitant about seeing a different t but if this person is so sick she must be off work for two months, how useful is she as a therapist? It might be better than none but at this time it’s like having no t.

Since you have good relationship with your pdoc, could he refer you to a good t they might know? Not saying yours is no good but she is never there and you have to go through this stress of not knowing! Plus she doesn’t inform you directly which is frustrating.
