thanks bpd. I also freeze up and feel I have nothing to talk about when it's laid out like that. So I think bringing the thoughts I've had during the week with me, makes it much easier.
It's one of the biggest things about me, that my T has picked up on - I'm just not vocal enough nor able to open up (And I think I wear my heart on my sleeve...??) Hence she appreciates me writing some deep things into a mail, that proves they have come to the fore in my mind - now I need to vocalise them.
At the same time, she's had time to think about my mail too, knows what's coming, and maybe will make it easier for me to begin the conversation.
In that way, I think e-Mail is VERY helpful...
