that's part of why i like the email. i don't have the guts to bring up some topics face to face. it kind of holds me accountable in a way. i send it, she comments a little and then she picks what seems to be the hot topics and we discuss them in her office. if she ever asks me what's going on or what i want to talk about, i draw a total blank or freeze up. this works much better for me. reading what i wrote to her out loud is really hard, but it's so very helpful for me. i didn't have any contact between sessions with my last t. that didn't work very well for me. it was like starting over everytime i saw him.

sounds like you brought up some pretty good stuff in your email. should make for good discussion. maybe she won't make you read it out loud, but just wants a copy of it in front of her.
