Emails between therapist and client? I don't think I have ever done that. HA! you know I have. That is the only way that can survive between sessions. It also gives me things to read back over.

Thank God my therapist is great about email. It took me a LONG time to do that with her. I still remember the first time I sent her a (long) email. She said, "Now I can see where you are. You are a writer. I think we can get down to some work now. Keep the emails coming. Good job!"

I started this when our therapy had come to a stagnant state (back in October). I just could not get to a place in our sessions that I really shared much of anything with her. I sure was not showing any emotions or feelings. Once I started writing/emailing, the dam broke and out poured all this stuff! I shocked myself!

I am so lucky that she is willing to work with me this way. Being that I write my feelings out (as you can see from some things I have posted), it has helped both of us tremendously.

I also use music when I need to. She is great with that, too. She once said that the change was nice. Meaning that she never knows what I will do! I may sit in the floor, bring music, bring typed notes, journaling, pillows, blankets, pictures, etc....I never know what it will be until almost the day of my session.
