I would not assume that he is avoiding returning your email.

When I did go back my T blew off my email and by saying, "I got your email message but I had no earlier appointment available."

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">It's rude to not respond by simply emailing back and saying, "I have no appointments available. See you the week after next." They should respond and let you know the situation with their schedule. Just common courtesy. Believe me, if T tells me he couldn't be bothered to email me back because he had no sessions available (which I know not to be true as I had seen him less than 24 hours earlier and he had quite a few openings), then I would certainly tell him I don't appreciate being treated so rudely. I do not think that is it at all. My best case scenario is that my poor ADD T read my email, meant to respond to it, and did not, and it got buried under dozens of newer incoming messages. Then he started working on something else, his train of thought was lost, and voila, no response to Sunny! And then it's too late to do anything, anyway. That's my charitable interpretation. I guess I just want to be important enough to him that he will respond when I email him. But I guess I'm not.

I am not a needy client. I rarely call or email my T, and never for therapy/support, only for logistics. I do not ask for more than one session a week. I play by the rules. So this one time I mention that something is "important" to me and I get ignored. I had better not express any needs in the future.

Sorry for all the whining, guys.
