Rainbow, if your T allows e-mails - you can use that. Allow T to set the bounbary.
But be respectful of the time and issues. My T lets me write him for my therapy stuff - a TON of venting that I do and processing through my thoughts. I do send him links he asks me for in session, but he never replies to those emails. In fact, he rarely replies at all - so I go through phases thinking I am abusing the ability to email. We have talked about it several times and he tells me to trust HIM to set the boundary and that HE will let me know if I am crossing them. He is very honest with me about everything.

So go with your heart but don't get trapped in the same bind I can get into with being upset when he doesn't reply. I sent him 12 emails yesterday because I was not well at all. He answered the first one in the AM and assured me that he was there for me and sending me positive thoughts and love - then there was silence.
But then this AM I sent him that dream I had last night and he wrote back and said only a few words - that I could trust him and that he did NOT forget me :-)

Hope this helps!!
Thanks for this!
