I freaking hate it when they can see we need reassurance and caring and yet they play that "you're stronger than you think" card. Does it ever occur to them to just give us a hug and say "it's gonna be okay?" I guess there are multiple rules against that one, but honestly. It's so disappointing to have a bad session when you so badly need help.
I know your therapist, too, is going through a lot right now, and while it doesn't excuse her not being "on" it also doesn't mean she doesn't care about you and worry about your well-being. I'm guessing that in that silence, she was feeling guilt, anxiety, and intense worry about you and couldn't figure out the right thing to say.
Nevertheless, you've been through so much recently and she needs to step up to the plate.
If you are feeling this bad, I feel that you should give her a call.
The black hole will NOT last. It never does. I know it is hard to see your way out of it, but you will find it, and hopefully soon.
((((TherapyGirl)))) Hold on. This too shall pass.
