I have to agree with, stopdog, I totally view emailing as less intrulsive than calling. I love writing and the thought of calling anyone and actually talking to them on the phone sends me into a tailspin. . .. hmmmm, I think I might have to investigate that further with my therapist Okay, not really because I HATE talking to ANYONE on the phone!

But when I consider that in my quiet moments, I need to consider why that is?. ... Am I worried that if I call that the person won't answer? .... Or if I leave a message that the person won't call back because they might think the question or subject isn't worth their time? . .. .Oooooo abandonment issues! Look, what I'm truthfully and honestly trying to say is that anything we experience as difficult or awkward could be an important issue in therapy. Do we have to bring it up? Certainly not! What we discuss or bring up in therapy is entirely up to us . . .. how we heal or how we improve in our ability to cope is definitely up to us!!!

PS I LOVED LOVED LOVED the Soup Nazi episode on Sienfield. That guy was a genius . .. Okay, I admit that I didn't recognize his genius until he was five years into his show . . . I'm a slooooow learner. .. Gee, maybe that explains my difficulties in psychotherapy . .. . I think Jerry Sienfield would approve LOL
