I want to call my therapist so bad. She told me that I could call over winter vacation if I need to but it's not an emergency and I don't want to bother her. She never said it had to be an emergency. Maybe I could email her first. I just want to talk to her so bad. But I'll be a crying mess over the phone. If I call her it won't be at least until next week probably. Also the house has to be empty so people don't here me crying. Do you think I should call her or email her? Or neither? Or both?

Email first, ask if you can call when you want to (Whether that's today or sometime next week)
Thanks for this!

I know all Therapists are different, but the way mine put it is to not hesitate to call/text if needed. She said if she is busy or cannot answer, she won't, and she will respond later. I think she knew if she didn't reassure me of that I would never call even though it's clear I need extra support.
You can always email her, tell her about your hesitation, and she will probably give you some sort of guidelines or reassure you it's ok.
