I can relate to wanting to email T whenever I'm upset....my T does allow email and has not put a restriction on it. She just responds when/if she can or we talk about it next session.
I think my T knows that I am more worried about boundaries than she is, since my boundaries as a kid were so violated. So she doesn't put a lot of restrictions on me because she knows I'll restrict myself. Though I'd love to email with her daily, I tend to email about once a week at the most...and we meet face to face every two weeks.
I have asked her before if I'm bothering her and she always says no, not at all...I've learned to trust that she means it and will let me know if I ever get to be too burdonsome.
I hope you can get the same reassurance from your T as well.
