I rarely email my T. I have enough issues around calling her and I found that emailing just compounded the problem (now I had 2 ways of waiting for a response from her instead of one, lol). Actually, my T never did respond to the last email I sent, probably a couple of months ago. I just gave up after that.

I text her sometimes, but not a lot. There is some real cognitive dissonance that goes on when this person that I admire and respect so much sends me a message that says "UR doin gr8." Seriously.

My advice to you, 78, would be to make sure you know what your T's boundaries are, because for me some of the most painful moments in therapy have been when I bumped up against Ts boundaries (or vice versa) and thus felt rejected/abandoned.
