jaybird: I like emailing better than talking on the phone, but my T prefers that I call if I need to. She says there is no misunderstanding on the phone like there is with emailing. Someone says something and the other person answers right then and there. She was always worried about her replies, that she "agonized" over them! I almost forgot that. She really cares a lot about me and the others she sees. I don't know if others email her or not.

This is off the subject, but I was thinking about how my T sees people for 1 hour, not 50 minutes. Or like me, 1 and 1/2 hours. She doesn't have breaks in between. No wonder she gets tired!! She works very hard but apparently she wants to give everyone the full hour. She used to go over time with me but now there is usually someone after me so she can't. Maybe she's TOO dedicated to her work!

skysblue: that's interesting that you never talk directly to your T but just leave messages. My T sometimes emails a time that she will call so I don't have to sit around wondering and worrying, but I hardly ever call anyway.l Maybe now I'll be calling her more if I'm not emailing.
