I don't know where you are, raindog, but it might be as simple as it's the weekend and he'll reply on Monday during office hours. Alternatively, he might be sending you a written response, so you'd need to wait a day or two for the post to arrive.

After breaking the rule yet another time I was told they cannot help me anymore, since they believe therapy had failed. This was a variation of CBT, and now they think I should be referred to a DBT clinic. The supervisor told me it was a hard decision for him to make, but he really believes it to be in my best interests. I think he's saying the truth, but I think that he's making a professional mistake.

Wow. Ok, here was my reaction to this.
My intial reaction is, "HOW DARE HE?" Yes, I got angry. Kind-of intensely, which isn't something that I experience from reading posts about other people's experiences often. God, I'd feel really awful; attacked, angry, confused, hurt. That's pretty horrible to hear.

On the other hand, I want to tell you that I kinda see where they stand here. I honestly feel like this would be something that I would experience. -_-

Regarding boundaries, I still have such a hard time with them. I want to text/call my therapist multiple times a week. I did once, after she had already told me that she doesn't text unless it's about scheduling. I knew there were boundaries there. Still, I texted her when I was in distress. She called me later and we talked about it. I asked her if she was mad. And she said, "No at this point, no." to which I said, "Uh, that means you can be." To which she replied yes, and said that if that happened all the time, she'd be concerned because it wouldn't be healthy for either of us. We'd talk about it though. Boundaries are hard to learn...I just wanted to let you know you're not alone with this struggle. I really wish you the best <3
