How long does it take your T to respond to an email?

my T very rarely responds to e-mail at all.

If he is going to respond within a couple of days... Most of the time he doesn't respond, and he let me know that that might be the case, so it is a nice surprise when a couple days after my last e-mail I found a response from him in my inbox.

My T has always responded within a few hours.

My t doesn't do emails.

My T usually responds within a few hours or so if it has to do with scheduling or a session. I usually email her some of my thoughts and journal stuff and she doesn't respond unless she worries about my safety. Rule of thumb also is only during the business day M-F. Again, unless she's concerned for my safety.

it is understood that emails to my T are just for discussion at the next session. He has no access in between office hours, and he is limited in office hours. If it's an emergency, or urgent, I need to call his office and leave a message for his supervisor...

Never soon enough for me it seems! But usually a few hours or the next day.

My T doesn't do emails, and boy, am I glad! I'm sure I'd have a couple dozen sitting in my draft box, obsessing constantly over whether I should send them or not. I've already got enough to drive me crazy!

Haha...I DO!! I have several right now. It usually takes me several tries/drafts before I'll send it.

Usually my T will respond the next morning ( I email later in the evening after my session). Her responses are brief....two or three sentences. I like that she responds....feels validating.

It varies. I always call and leave a message for T when I have emailed him since he doesn't check it. I know once I got a reply just a few hours later because I was in a crisis at the time and he asked for my phone number; he works at the government health services building one day a week or he may have just taken the day off. I know he wanted to hear from me that I wasn't a risk to myself and that we could could book an emergency appointment the next day so that it would stay that way. I don't generally email though, unless I can't say it in session. That's rare for me though. More likely when there are a couple of week between sessions, but even then I talk to his receptionist to be added to the waiting list for cancelled sessions.

Never. He doesn't have an email or a cell phone! Really old-school... Oh yes, lucky me.. Seriously, I think I prefer it this way; I'm sure I could easily turn into a mail-stalker!

Thanks for this Mona. I am trying to give T the benefit of the doubt and not get all paranoid. I will wait and see what happens with future emails and try and be patient.
