Yeah, a good T is like that :-) They let us vent and then they give a response when we are ready and able to hear what they say. You are doing just fine. My T also lets me send all the emails I want. He only replies when he wants to and when he has something he needs to tell me. If that is the case with you, keep using that tool to process through all these emotions. If your T says he understands, than that is the case.

I am so thankful for a T who has the ability to let a client work through things that way and use email as a limited tool or extension of therapy. Therapy does not happen for one hour a week. For a client trying to heal, it is 24/7. Processing doesn't stop.

So keep on working through this trigger and you will find the root. Be honest about it with yourself and your T.
