So my T was super sick on Monday and had to miss our session...he said we would look at different times for me...I haven't heard from him since-I'm worried about him and the little girl inside of me is sooo anxious-thinking that he is going to forget to email me back-and I will stop having therapy with him...I miss him-and I need to have some sort of connection with him this week-I feel like I'm slipping into ways of thinking and fears that I thought I was over...i was soooo proud of myself for being okay with not seeing him Monday-but now I just can't do it anymore...should I email him?! I don't want to be a pain in the butt or bug him...but I would like to just hear one thing from him...to know he is okay and to know that he isn't forgetting me : (

I don't see anything wrong with emailing him, asking how he is, and saying that you were wondering when your next appointment is. I thought you said that he said maybe you could see him on Thursday, which is tomorrow. Maybe he's not well yet if he had the flu.
I would be scared if my T got sick, and she knows that, so she would be okay with my asking how she is. I hope you hear from him soon!

so as long as your expectations agree to his boundaries you should do it... Personally, I would say that "I would like to just hear one thing from you...to know you are okay and to know that you are not forgetting me" Its okay to admit to needing the connection. |

I'm sorry this is painful for you. I empathize with how you're feeling, I know I'd feel the same way. It's okay to miss him and want to connect. In my case, my T encourages me to email anytime, whatever I want, so I personally would email him in that situation and if your T is welcoming to emails too I would if it would make you feel better. I don't really see emails as bothering unless someone sends like 20 a day or something, because Ts can check them at their own convenience. Just consider that he might really be very sick--not to say that to scare you, just that he might not even be up to responding at all and is needing to rest which is why he hasn't gotten back to you yet. But he's not going to forget about you. I hope he gets to feeling better soon and you'll hear from him.

needing that connection is ok. I've done this a few times myself.

I just wanted to tell y'all that I heard back from T today!!! He said he is on the mend back at work this morn...he ten wrote such a nice email that comforted me and offered an appointment on Sat morn if I needed it (he never works weekends) or on Monday-I told him I could hang on til Monday! Then he made a joke at the end of the email that references something that seemed soo dramatic for me in the begging of our relationship and it made my morning...he then wrote back and said he would see me Monday! I feel soo much better <3
