More decisions to make

My therapist hasn’t responded to the in-depth email I sent her regarding things I experienced in the worst of my psychosis. She told me I could send it in an email if I didn’t feel comfortable speaking about it, and here I go baring my heart and soul and she just doesn’t reply. Nothing. Not even a “got your email, we’ll talk about this next session,” nothing.

Also, she was supposed to email me when she had set up my appointment to meet with the people who are going to help me at school. She never did. It’s been a week since I last saw her and she said she’d do this, and since I sent the email.

I’m incredibly disappointed with how she’s handling things right now to the point where I feel like leaving her and going to find someone else. Really the only thing that’s kept me from leaving is I’ve grown comfortable with where I go for the therapy and because I dread having to bring up my issues again with someone.

Am I overreacting here?

Maybe she off work. Easter.

I don’t think she took all of last week off. I sent the email last Saturday.

She told me she would get back to me about the learning aid group by Monday.

She could be using the same excuse that my tdoc uses when he doesn’t contact me, that he was busy with his other patients and tried getting to you as fast as he could.

Do you appreciate the sessions with her though? Maybe wait till the next session and see how/if she responds to your e-mail then before making decisions. Some people are really bad at corresponding swiftly through e-mail, pushing your patience so to speak. I have similar issues with my thesis supervisor, it pisses me off but whenever we meet in person we have great sessions so that makes up for it. Hope you can say the same about your therapist.

Have you corresponded by email before? It may be something as simple as not having the right email addresses.

I’d at least wait until the next session. Perhaps a phone call to get the confirmation you seek.

Good luck Anna.

Thanks for input guys. Maybe I have been thinking hastily about this. I’ll go to my next session and see what’s up.
