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.

That is exactly what my T does. He knows once I calm down, he will get a email saying I'm sorry, and then he can say something productive. He lets me get off what ever I need to in email. If he didnt i would impolde between sessions. It kind of provoked me when this all started though. He told me to use the iCBT app we use, and I told him to shove cbt.
I generally use that a lot to process emotions, but I was to worked up I guess he just didn't realize. I needed HIM. He likes when I use it though, he says it helps him understand what I'm going through much better. Tomorrow should be interesting I'm sure this is going to be a topic of discussion.
His first reply was, you know I understand. Um yeah definitely not...not after I told you how much I hated therapy, and you, and there should be a warning label on therapy.
