Rainbow I think the email thing depends on 2 things

1. The client needs to determine what benefit they hope to receive from being able to email. For me I would have seriously evaluate why I feel I need the emailing and what my expectations are of my therapist and be very honest with myself about it.

2. Talk over these things with the therapist and see if this is acceptable to him/her. I would lay out minimum expectations if it is good or a compromise can be worked out that also benefits you then I say go for it.

Ultimately I wouldnt want more "issues" because the extra contact to overshadow the work in session. For me it just wouldnt work for me I know that it would become more of a distraction than a help. If it is an option, it is something one has to work out the best perameters that is workable for the T and still beneficial for the client. Sometimes this can happen and other time it doesnt...and the reasoning is very individual.
