*safe hugs if wanted* Take a deep breath and calm down. It's ok. There could be a ton of reasons for why she hasn't replied to your email yet; it could be she hasn't gotten it, or it could be she's choosing her reply carefully, or it could be she's doing some research before she replies to you, etc. It's not necessarily a bad sign that she hasn't replied yet. I know it's easy to jump to the worst conclusion, especially when you're used to the worst happening, but remember that it's not necessarily true. Try to not get ahead of yourself. I've learned to take this view on life, especially with situations like these: It's not worth worrying about until it's proven worrisome. Kinda like innocent until proven guilty, but with a twist. Try not to worry until there's something to worry about. *more safe hugs if wanted* Help yourself be and remain as calm and safe as possible. Be gentle and kind to yourself right now. Do whatever you can to help yourself feel better whenever possible.
I don't believe she thinks you're lying, and I certainly don't believe she's mad. From what you've said so far, she seems really helpful, and she's believed you until now, so why would that change? I don't think she'd ever think that you're lying.
She might blame herself a bit, but as a therapist, there's always the danger of that, and she should be aware of it. If she has a good head on her shoulders, like she sounds like she does, then she should know how to properly deal with those types of feelings without having it affect your therapy.
Unfortunately, therapists are not the invincible beings they make themselves out to be sometimes, and sometimes a breakdown does happen. But there's no proof of this yet, and unless she seems fragile, there's no reasons for this to be a concern yet. The most I can see happening is her having a SMALL emotional "breakdown" from how sad she would be that you've been hurt like this for so long. (I use the term "breakdown" loosely. Everyone has crying sessions now and then for something that affects them deeply. Therapists are no different). Therapists, especially those that help DID, PTSD, etc patients, are aware that they will receive confessions and revealed facts from their patients. They've accepted that they'll experience these types of things and I'm sure they're prepared to deal with them properly.
If you have to see someone else, I very highly doubt that it would be because she doesn't want to help you anymore. She might feel inadequate to help you, or might think that you'd receive better help from someone else; reasons that are about helping you and making sure that you're getting the help you need. Because that's what she's there for: to help you. Even if that means considering referring you to someone else if she thinks you'll have more/better help. It would certainly not be meant as a betrayal, but an attempt to help you more. But again, there's no proof of this yet and so it's not worth worrying over.
Take care of yourself. Comfort your little parts (as I'm sure they're helping to make you feel little). And try not to worry about this until there's something for sure to worry about. *more safe hugs if wanted* I certainly hope she replies soon. Until then, you're always welcome to talk/vent here, and remember you're not alone. Feel better soon.
