Email Panic.

When T's dont answer your emails, and they usually do....

torture? What am I supposed to do now?!

I'm having the same issue. I'll sit next to you.

There are a lot of reasons that your therapist might not have responded, I'm sure you already knew that and knowing doesn't help much.

Sorry wish I had the magic answer for you.

This is my T rupture first anniversary, when I received an email from T, TOTALLY intended for SOMEONE ELSE, that when I read it, I wanted to pluck my eyes out. Last night, history repeated itself on text. But this time I had my PC peeps with me! So may I say, WATCH OUT WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU MIGHT GET IT! And then we'll help you get thru it p.s. T said he's getting new eyeglasses - he needs them!

May I ask a question? I'm a little embarrassed, but what exactly is a rupture in the therapeutic sense?

here's a poll thread discussing that very question. I would call a major rupture that I celebrate the anniversary of means, we almost broke up for reals. it took a couple months to really recuperate.

Thanks hankster, I will check it out.

whats rupture?
I know no magic answers.. just wanted to sit here and not be alone

Hang in there shoez!! T will answer

omg...no way...you got a text he wrote for someone else? what'd it say???

Thats the great thing about being here! You are not alone.

from my experience last year, I learned to DELETE ASAP so I can't torture myself rereading them, so the sequence of events was: I texted him something about the day's session, and he responded. Two hours later, I get another text from him, addressed to someone else, asking when is a good time to call.
I text back: no, sorry, t, this is hankster.
T: sorry, hankster, this is T.
Hankster: I know, sorry I didn't sign my OP.
And that was pretty much it. today he said he was texting in the dark w/o his glasses and just texted the last number texted, which was me.
Talking about the text snafu and when I reminded him today was our rupture anniversary, he looked like I stabbed him in a soft spot with a spork. but we left on good terms as usual. I feel like i'm on a roll. we are trying to not let me backslide, so even staying still feels like moving forward!

Once in awhile my T will not answer an email. I usually wait a couple of days then send him a reminder - "Just checking - did you have a chance to read my email from..." and he usually then gets back to me right away. I have an email waiting on him right now - yes it's frustrating, but he already answered one this week and he usually has a one/week limit so I expect we'll discuss it in session on Friday. I'm tempted to throw a hissy over the no response, but on the other hand, we're talking termination so I have a feeling he's letting me handle this non-crisis issue on my own, which is as it should be.
