You did the right thing by reaching out, maybe you and he/she could talk about your reaction to having to wait so long. One of the important skills in therapy is learning to reach out when you need to. It helps you to get support when you're in trouble, and also if you can get the habit and do it in real life.
It makes me more insecure to email a T and not get a response. This is where I am now, I accept it, and I've chosen a therapist who told me from the outset she responds to all phone calls the same day. It's one less thing to worry about.
Sorry you're hurting purple fins, but you DID do the right thing by reaching out!

would it be OK if I rant here a minute?  .....
don't think the T. i see is going to answer my email-- in over three years I think I've sent about 7 or 8. I don't usually reach out after abuse but I thought doing so might help me and keep the "dark" at bay.... it's been 5 days since I emailed, so... I don't think I will hear anything.....
I shouldn't have written, I'm sorry I did.  (not a good idea for fins to be too open)
I stupidly forgot that I am alone, when things get really "dark" I should not reach out.... I knew that-- I don't know why I forgot........
I am at least glad that your T. emailed you-- that is so nice. 
I hope you continue to keep that light-peaceful feeling in your soul
