Its a good subject to bring up. I've had the same experience. I think Ts should clarify in advance which way the intend to play when it comes to email, so the person is prepared. Its ok to have a professional boundary, but it can be a culture shock when the person is usually warm, and they become clipped and formal : (

One T I had set the boundary by saying no emotional content to emails as that belongs in the session.

Thanks for all the sharing.
