I kept thinking....how in the heck do the Ts have time for their own lives with all this emotional emails and texting going on?

I'm not sure about emailing anyway. I guess it would be good to just touch base but you cant conduct therapy via the written word. I could see me using it like a journal thing maybe. Writing can be good therapy for me. Honestly, I think I would feel content just knowing I can email her but not really having to do it. Oh hell, I dunno. Get back to me in 3 months when I'm a slobbering idiot in love with her straight T and cant go 5 minutes without some form of communication.
I wouldn't suggest that route. I think I'm the biggest offender of emailing T anonymous. I used to email him like at least 10x a day. Our relationship is struggling to form healthy boundaries now. If our theraputic relationship wasn't so solid I'm not sure we would get through all the boundary changes. Yeah moral of the story....don't become a email T addict like I did. It's devastating when it has to come to an end and you need to become more self reliant.
