Thanks for posting!! I can very much relate to sharing more with T by email than face to face. I've had this issue as well. I find that I am able to let my guard down more easily, to break through those defenses, when I am in the comfort of my own home - with time to sort through my feelings, etc. It's very difficult for me to address things "in the moment" because I tend to shut down so easily, because the feelings are so big.
