well........................................
if the intense angry (or whatever) feelings occurred three weeks earlier, what is reported directly, in session, is giong to be very emotionless.
I speak from experience. Maybe it IS better for the T to hear in email or on phone just what the feelings are - expressed in the moment, you know - than to visit them for the first time after the fact.
Not to say, I hasten to add, that people should get into the habit of sending rants via email or by phone. Not at all... this should also be a big part of the discussion with the T.
