One question I have is how often do you email your T? I didn't have one who used email.
If you never email I can imagine that you'll get response. IF it's something that's a problem with you doing--too often, esp. if it's been talked about that it's a problem or that you shouldn't do it, maybe as a therapeutic response s/he won't respond. Not reinforce what could be dysfunctional behavior.
It's early to get a response. IF she's on vacation she might not check email often, maybe not at all--people sometimes shut it down if they're going to be away or don't have the means to access it. If you do email, how often have you rec'd replies in the past? On vacy, like I said, the regular operating might be totally out the window. Maybe the emailed doesn't make it to her at all.
How long have you seen her? How frequently? Think of all the good things--your history. Is all of that meaningless because you don't receive an email reply? Does that one thing negate everything else? Do you think your T's attitude and caring for you has completely changed in a few weeks? What would you make think that? I think the standard to use isn't your perception of her behavior but to think about what other--many-most T's would do in the same situation. Try to think outside of your particular circumstance and generalize.
While you might think that it's a make-or-break situation, do you think your T (or most T's) does? Maybe she just simply doesn't understand it to be that way so she's not making the sort of statement that you're interpreting it be.
I've been through hell like you're going thru. It happens that T's go away some times. Some and maybe all behavior might different than normal. If you really need to be in contact, there’s nothing stopping you from emailing again in a day or two, keeping in mind she might not see it, etc.
