I’ve been reading recent threads about emails between client and therapist and how it affects us – plus my own experience this past week and it's got me thinking ... and finally I came up with an idea that I think will work for me.

I have a therapy journal … where I write note or lists relating to past session or ideas for futures sessions.

We all know that time between sessions can be challenging and I often feel I want to talk to my therapist during that time but getting an immediate response isn’t always needed, at least for me.

So I’ve started writing ‘Letters to My therapist’, where I talk to her - tell her what I am thinking, what I feeling, ask questions and so forth. Not all the letters will be shared with her ‘cause this exercise is just for me – to get these thoughts out of my head so they don’t drive me crazy. But some of it I will share – to give her an idea where I’m at emotionally, to share a response to something said in a previous session, or to get questions answered. My therapist isn’t big on using email as a therapeutic tool, so I think this might work.

So, to make a long story longer, - the reason I am posting this is to say thank YOU for the inspiration.
