Me too. I am studying to be a mental health professional, and after reading about some of the problems with email on this forum, I don't think I will allow my future clients to email me either. I know it works out well for some people, but others, no. I just don't think I'll mess with it because I don't want it to be a negative for clients. And it may be hard to tell who it would not work well for, and I don't want to get into the situation of having someone be able to email me at first, and then telling them "phone only" after I can see the emails are backfiring. That hurts the client too, to "take away" a privilege. Too complicated and confusing. But I will be very good about answering voice messages!
