I think writing a letter is a wonderful idea...
Like others here, I struggled with not being able to cry in therapy....my therapist told me that she understood my frustration with the timing of the tears (I used to burst into tears as soon as I got into my car after my appointment), but that I should also remember that at least I was connecting with the feelings....something I hadn't been able to do before. I don't know if that is true for you, but maybe you can take some small comfort in the fact that you're doing a lot of hard work just connecting with the feelings of sadness. I hope you're able to cry with her and feel the connection you need to...personally I think it's wonderful when it happens, but I've read others who say they never cry in therapy and still feel cared for and connected so that's possible as well. It sounds like she cares a great deal about you and she WILL come back. But, it is so dang hard to hold onto that....
Here's hoping you hear from her soon....Anneke
