For me email is a very helpful addition to my f2f sessions. It also most times helps soothe me. T always responds, not immediately but as and when she can and that in itself has helped me, learning that because someone does't reply immediately doesn't mean they dont care or I dont matter, its been another way to learn how to regulate my own anxiety.

There have been misunderstandings with email between us, but thats been part of the work, sometimes I felt I was arguing with T through email, but she pointed out we're just having a conversation, which was another emotion regulator for me. Perhaps email for me is where a lot of my miscommunications happen so being able to email with T has helped in this area.
Thanks for this!
