This is my T's preferred method of communication. I agree, it sucks. Sometimes it's nice to send emails and texts to lay it all out there and let them have a heads up before session as to what is going on with us instead of spending the hour explaining. It's a nice way to "touch base". Yes - expecting replies comes also with disappointments. Email and texting is difficult to read. Because if I'm in a bad mood, I often read my T's response to be negative or condescending, which can spin one out of control. But, it's also a way to communicate without interrupting T's flow (calling) and just putting it out there.

Pros and cons I suppose.
