Hello, I am dropping into this thread because I do understand your hurt.

I know that there are T's who specialize in email therapy and they are the ones who really understand and know how and what to communicate in an email (that being an email therapeutic exchange that is paid for by the client). There is a specific amount of training that goes into that type of therapy. Not every T can do email therapy or know how to answer an email in a way that is not "doing therapy". So they don't bother. Or they are told not to "do therapy" in email.

When I read some threads about emails and so on, I do want to jump in at times and let you all know that most T's are NOT trained in email communication.

It's a very particular speciality and requires a lot of training on top of their regular training. That's probably why most don't do it.

Email is not a secure means of communication and shouldn't be used for personal therapeutic type communication unless the email is sent through an encryption which is used for email therapy.

You can check out some sites of T's that do email therapy and see the difference. I've used it before when I've been stuck without my T and done right, it has been helpful. Not a replacement for seeing someone but it has its own benefits indeed.
